'12'

Claire Cunningham for Candoco Dance Company

​

Assistant Director and Mentor 

Candoco Dance Company present an evening of bold new dance featuring 12 disabled and non-disabled performers from China, the UK and Brazil.

​

With '12' Claire Cunningham invites us into a wondrous, imaginative world - a theatrical piece that plays with life's crutches. What holds us up? What supports us? When do they tip over from something you love to something darker? The result is a riotous piece full of childlike beauty and surreal humour.
