Lindsay Kemp, 80, Groundbreaking Dancer-Choreographer-Mime-Performance Artist

While he’s most famous for having taught the singers Kate Bush and David Bowie (He helped invent and coached Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust persona), Kemp founded his own contemporary dance company in the 1960s and created flamboyant, pioneering stage productions that combined – and ignored any boundaries between – dance, mime, musical and spoken-word theatre.
