LINDSAY KEMP

With the artistic and commercial success of the first London version of "Flowers", in 1974, the nucleus of a new Lindsay Kemp Company was formed, which for the following 20 years would remain relatively stable despite a constant turnover of new talent. Having transferred to the West End's Regent Theatre and then to Broadway's Biltmore Theater, "Flowers" opened the road towards many years of adventurous and practically continuous international touring, and towards a varied and expanding repertoire of productions... The Lindsay Kemp Company Kemp's natural talent for assembling a collection of like-minded talents around him, and then moulding them into a heterodox but unified group, meant that even when young he was always trying to turn a cast into a company: from the late 1960s onwards many variations on the theme
