“visually striking” ★★★★★ The Herald

111 is a powerful duet between two exceptional dancers – Joel Brown and Eve Mutso – as they explore their different strengths and vulnerabilities. Joel is a paraplegic dancer, self-trained, who dances with CandoCo – the UK’s leading inclusive dance company and Eve is former principal dancer with Scottish Ballet.
111 is the number of vertebrae that Joel and Eve have between them… hypothetically. Eve “moves like she has a hundred”, Joel’s spin is fused and he jokes he only has 11.
“moving duet is something special …riveting, sexy and beautifully crafted‘ ★★★★ THE TIMES
“The power of intimacy burns through this beguiling duet … what is conceptually simple is visually beguiling” ★★★★ THE LIST
NEWS: We have received support from Creative Scotland to create a new digital version of 111 using Joel Brown’s music and to refresh the show for Indepen-dance’s The Gathered Together Festival – Saturday July 9 2022.
The new digital film has been invited to:
British Council’s Disability Arts Showcase of the Americas (DASH). To be shown on Trasnocho Cultural‘s website on 1 May in Venezuela.
We will also be presenting the live and digital show at the Liberty Festival in Lewisham, London on 24 July.
Shown as part of the Unlimited Festival at Tramway, Glasgow, 111 was a hit with audiences and critics alike. Listed in the Guardian as one of the top 12 shows at 2019’s Edinburgh Fringe, part of Made in Scotland it was a sell out success before touring to the Bounce Festival, Belfast, NI, Tblisi International Festival in Georgia, Dance Live in Aberdeen and IF, Oxford. In 2021 we launched Southbank’s Unlimited’s digital festival with a film of our original Tramway show and joined Hay FestivalArequipa, Peru for a Q&A session. Thanks to all who hosted us.
If you would like more information or would like to programme the show please email susan@ripplearts.co.uk .
Thanks – 111 is commissioned and supported by Unlimited, celebrating the work of disabled artists, with funding from Spirit of 2012, The Work Room, The Place, Made in Scotland, Creative Scotland and Tramway.
