4 Legs Good – Claire Cunningham (SCO)

One of the UK’s most acclaimed and internationally renowned disabled artists, Claire Cunningham, presents a lecture demonstration exploring her artistic practice.  

Claire will talk through the development of her career as her focus shifts from explorations about the connection between the crutches and her body, to how the crutches connect her to the world. 

She will demonstrate her own unique movement style “Quanimacy”, illustrating how she is influenced by the use/misuse, study and distortion of her crutches; rejecting formal dance training and techniques created for non-disabled bodies. She will discuss how her work is also influenced by her lived experience of disability and its impact on the way society thinks about knowledge, value, connection and interdependence.  There will also be a chance to ask Claire any questions you might have.

This is a relaxed, informal event where the audience is free to do whatever they need to be comfortable. There will be a variety of seating options. 

Tickets – Saturday 18th of March, 18:00

The performance is part of Multiplié dance festival 2023
