Gary Hurst

Gary Hurst was an actor and dancer who worked with Kate in both videos and live appearances. He started dancing in 1975, and won a scholarship to Holland where he studied in Rotterdam, then went on to tour with a troupe called Moving Being before continuing his studies in Sweden and France. Brought into the 1979 Tour Of Life by choreographer Anthony Van Laast, Hurst became a close friend and intimate of Kate and her regular dance partner alongside Stewart Avon-Arnold, with whom he later founded the Dance Theatre Of London.
