Jose Agudo started his career in Andalusia where he began performing as a Flamenco dancer. Slowly the world of contemporary dance became more visible as he worked throughout Europe performing with Charleroi/Danses, Ballet de Marseille, T.R.A.S.H, Shobana Jeyasingh Dance and Akram Khan Company.

As a rehearsal director and assistant choreographer Jose has worked on several creations for:
Akram Khan Company, including DESH, iTMOi, TOROBAKA, Until the Lions, Chotto Desh, London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony, and Sylvie Guillem’s farewell tour Life in Progress.

In 2011, Jose started to study Kathak under Akram’s guidance. Finding many parallels between this training and his early studies of Flamenco, Jose reconnected with his roots and began to explore traditional forms in a contemporary context. As a result he created Silk Road (2017), which has toured in 6 countries to date, and Carmen (2020).

Jose’s independent choreographic commissions include:
Ki for Phoenix Dance Theatre and English National Ballet School
Selah for ZfinMalta Dance Ensemble
A Thousand Shepherds for ACE Dance and Music, later restaged with Cape Dance Company
Arctic for LCDS
Regnum for Festival International de Music y Danza de Granada
Glansvit for Norrdans
Bhaj for SEAD/Bodhi Project
SAM for Area Jeune Ballet
and
For You – a film collaboration with London Mozart Players.

In 2019, Jose choreographed the opening ceremony of the Davis Cup by Rakuten in Madrid.
He is listed in the new edition of 50 Contemporary Choreographers, an international publication by Routledge.

During 2022 and 2023 Jose embarked in a new adventure diving into the world of the musical theatre. First as an Associate Choreographer for Cabaret at the Kit Kat club. Then choreographing the flamenco scene and performing as the character of Rico at Strictly Ballroom the musical by Baz Lurhmann.
