Lancaster Arts is honoured to welcome Annie Hanauer Dance to the Nuffield Theatre for the first time, conjuring a disabled utopia.
A Space For All Our Tomorrows is a celebration of the power, creativity, and resilience of disabled people, the beauty and wisdom their perspectives can hold, and how much they have to contribute to the world. In a time when disabled people are increasingly marginalised and their capacities undermined, this work stages disabled wisdom and strength.
The four performers explore the properties of the body; togetherness and individuality; presence and power. Four people find ways to keep going, alone or together. Four bodies resist, persevere, refuse to give up. The performers are accompanied by the voices of other disabled people gathered through the research process describing their ideas of utopia.
Annie Hanauer is an independent, international dance artist and has choreographed, performed, and taught dance for 17 years. As a disabled artist often working with other disabled/ crip collaborators, Annie is interested in how bodies in motion can joyfully disrupt ideas of normativity, and how dancing can be a space to challenge societal assumptions.
Please join us for a post-show conversation with the artists.
“Annie Hanauer... performs a twirling and shimmering dance, punctuated by breathtaking moments, whose fluidity is matched only by its expressiveness.”
