ME (Mobile/Evolution) A double bill from award-winning dancer/choreographer Claire Cunningham showcasing her exceptional dance technique and impressive power. ME (Mobile/Evolution) is a show woven from humorous stories; about doctors and dancing, bikes and ballet; all threaded together and balanced upon, hanging from, spinning on and swinging on crutches. Any possible sentimentality is undercut with a healthy dose of Scottish sarcasm. Audiences for this critically acclaimed production, seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2009, have been delighted, as well as provoked into questioning their ideas of aesthetics and dance. "Feisty, innovative, radical and witty … this is strong
visionary work.... It's hugely, generously entertaining too." "Her love of movement is palpable and communicated in no
uncertain terms to the audience. The closing scene [...]
is one of the most joyous and moving things I've ever seen" "Before your eyes, Mobile transforms something utilitarian
into a thing of beauty. It is a quietly effective piece that makes
you look at difference differently." Produced by Richard Wakely, Herald Angel Award Winner 2009 (Edinburgh Fringe Festival) For more information see: |
