12

What are your crutches? What holds you up? Gets you through? What…or who? And when does it tip over from something you love to something darker, a deeper need, that effects those around you? Does that mean its bad?

What are your crutches? And who are you to judge mine……

12 is a riotous piece full of childlike beauty and surreal humour. Commissioned by Candoco Dance Company as part of their Unlimited Commission for the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad for an ensemble of 12 disabled and non-disabled performers alongside Marc Brew’s work Parallel Lines. 12 was performed at Trinity Laban in Jan 2012, and at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank, London in Sept 2012, as part of Unlimited 2012.
