Baggage

Thu 2 Oct

About Baggage

We all have it—baggage, the invisible burdens we carry that are often too complex, too personal, and too heavy to share. This duet, combining tap, contemporary dance, and original live music, delves into the emotional journey of carrying these unseen weights. Baggage offers a heartfelt exploration into the highs and lows of life, presenting an uplifting, relatable, and moving piece of dance theatre that seeks to connect us all through our shared experiences.

Lucy Clark is a disabled dance artist and choreographer driven to champion disabled artists voices, through producing accessible and meaningful dance theatre works which effortlessly interweave science, social issues and movement. Lucy has toured previous work across the UK in leading theatres and art venues such as Brighton Dome, The Place, and South East Dance.

Baggage was created under 'A Space to Call Home' funded by Arts Council England, delivered by Marina Studios Foundation in partnership with DanceHub CIC.
