Slap and Tickle - T997195178Slap and Tickle is a dark and ribald physical commentary on cultural mores and sexual taboos: a disorientating display of interpretations and contradictions about women, girls, mothers and pensioners. Beating a path through the personal and historical, Aggiss creates a feminist soup that lurches from spoken word to expressionist movement, from music hall to radio nostalgia, from costume change to prop manipulation. This performance contains strobe, strong language and balloons.Presented byDIG. | |

Liz Aggiss is The English Channel - T1027714307After 60 years, Liz Aggiss finally gives herself permission to do what she damn well pleases. Better late than never! She's reached an age where doing the right thing is optional. Should she please you, or should she please herself? The English Channel is the story of a career forged in the heady waters of performance art and dance-film. It vividly depicts Liz Aggiss resuscitating herself back into the on-stage limelight. In the process, she becomes an unwitting channel for wilful women and forgotten archives; a conduit for hidden histories and buried truths. She is your cunning connection to ?the other side'; a witty commentator on life and death; on the pain, pleasure and paradox of the stage. Using her body as the medium through which to act out and act up, the choreography and texts (written by Aggiss) are framed by contemporary and archive film (Joe Murray). The specially composed music score (by Alan Boorman/Wevie) includes some knock-out musical numbers. Surprise guests are channeled into being. On a stage of chaos anything can happen, nobody can leave, everyone is present. Knock twice for yes. | |

Double Vision/Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage - T01171139570Double Vision is a brand new live art, dance and discussion evening featuring Liz and celebrated choreographer [Charlotte Vincent]. Exposing the relationship between director and performer, conceptual complexity and physical simplicity, [Double Vision] sees two acclaimed dance creators trying to negotiate a language that neither of them usually speaks. The evening also features Don't Put Your Daughter On The Stage, in which a slick line-up of dancers pays homage to early 20th century dance and Liz's celebrated [Guerilla Dances]. Influential anarchic performer Liz Aggiss is more often quoted than seen on stage, so this premi?re is a rare chance to see and hear from the outspoken choreographer, film maker and writer described as the Vivienne Westwood of dance. | |
