A Conversation with Dystonia, in two parts - T1886288211Dance & Dialogue is a series of dual presentations featuring movement and words. For the dance component, Suzie Birchwood presents two pieces. The first is a trio between a classical dancer, an aerial artist and a contemporary dancer, exploring Birchwood's tempestuous relationship with her condition, generalised dystonia. The second work plays with notions of support and balance, exploring Suzie's changing physicality during the cyclical patterns of her condition. The dialogue component sees Birchwood in conversation with her research collaborators, looking at the revolutionary impact of neuroplasticity on her dystonia treatment. By revealing her shifting physicality, Birchwood illustrates that the disorder is a unique and changing aspect of her identity as a dancer. | |
