Performance & Medicine

Since founding Clod Ensemble in 1995, director Suzy Willson and composer Paul Clark have developed a highly original performance language, creating provocative, finely-crafted work which is ambitious in scale and concept.Clod Ensemble works at the intersections where different artistic forms meet, transform and challenge each other, collaborating with dancers, actors, musicians, medics, architects and orchestras to create work which is presented in London, across the UK and internationally.Some of the theatres, dance houses, galleries and public spaces Clod Ensemble’s work has been presented in include Sadler’s Wells, Tate Modern, The Lowry Salford, Wales Millennium Centre, Serralves Museum Porto and Public Theater New York.

Fantastic dancers including Elisabeth Mulenga, Fukiko Takase and Valerie Ebuwa will recreate fragments of performance, joined by singer Melanie Papenheim and violinist Rakhi Singh. Alex Mermikides and Gianna Bouchard who have written widely about performance and medicine will be there to help navigate this visceral terrain.Arrive early and/or stay late to look at films and research materials from the archive.
