Claire Cunningham, in association with Jess Curtis/Gravity presents:
ME (Mobile/Evolution)
Cunningham's two solo works, Evolution and Mobile are combined in this double bill of humourous 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 of 'a wee girl on crutches' is undercut with a healthy dose of Scottish sarcasm. Audiences have been surprised and entertained, as well as provoked into questioning their ideas of aesthetics and dance.
ME(Mobile/Evolution) was awarded a Herald Angel Award during its hugely successful run at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Feisty, innovative, radical and witty [...] strong, visionary work [...] hugely, generously entertaining [...] full of joy, optimism and sassy spirit.'The Herald, 18th Aug 2009.
