I went to Metal in Peterborough to meet dancer Kate Marsh and see what she is doing on a Time and Space residency, as part of her G4A funded research. She is working with dancer Kelly O’Brien to start to develop their own choreography, informed by the specificity of their bodies, each having a missing limb. It was exciting to learn about the potential of this approach, how their particular physicality informs and enriches their collaborative practice and performance.
We could immediately see connections between our work, with ideas about embodiment, and an interest in the relationship of the arts to socio-political issues.
