Two intimate and playful shows about being human, movement and pop music.
The Ballad features Lucy and Raedie, a mother and son who both REALLY love the singer Sia. They love her music, her videos and especially her hair.
This high-energy performance exposes the inherent narcissism that is at the center of motherhood and how this becomes a burden to the child embarking on adulthood. It shares something of Lucy and Raedie, past and present. It discovers their new dynamic.
43 Percent is a water-soaked odyssey, which packed out Glasgow’s Tramway at its 2016 Unlimited festival. Performed by 21CC’s Gary Gardiner and leading learning-disabled artist Ian Johnston, it explores the medical and social definitions of being human. Using dance, video, music and a huge dinghy, the work considers our bodies and the water contained within them, and how a medical world view might quantify, measure and sum us up – are our dancing bodies more than the sum of their parts?
