111

A duet between paraplegic modern dancer Joel Brown (CandoCo and Axis Dance) and Eve Mutso (formerly principal ballerina with Scottish Ballet) who have a mutual curiosity towards choreography. Here the dancers move through different physical and skeletal structures that alter the relationship, vulnerabilities, power, and virtuosity between them.

Showed as part of the Unlimited Festival at Tramway, Glasgow, 111 was a hit with audiences and critics alike. We are planning to take 111 to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2019 and to go on tour with it during 2020.
