A “magician of the camera” with an extraordinary visual sense, Margaret Williams, who has died aged 73, was a pioneering director during the heyday of dance on television in the 1990s and early 2000s.
She brought experimental yet accessible contemporary dance to mainstream audiences on the BBC and Channel 4 in films such as Cross Channel (1992) – made with the choreographer Lea Anderson, on location between London and Calais – and Outside In (1994), with the groundbreaking inclusive dance company Candoco and the choreographer Victoria Marks.
