Set to an original score featuring live strings, percussion and bagpipes, An Anatomie in Four Quarters celebrates the physical structure of the bodies we inhabit and the ways we attempt to see, define, contain, name and value them. The magnificent anatomy of Sadler’s Wells’ auditorium will be dissected as the audience of just 200 move to different viewing positions throughout the piece, examining what it means to open up and to be opened. Clod Ensemble has been making work that crosses the boundaries between dance, theatre and visual art for over 15 years and is led by Suzy Willson and Paul Clark. Recent productions include Red Ladies and Under Glass.

Under Glass - T1745105721

Under Glass is a performance which takes place within a collection of glass jars, cabinets and test tubes. Each vessel contains its own human specimen: a woman in a jam jar, a couple negotiating their space in a bed-like Petri dish, a shy ‘wallflower’ pinned behind a glass panel, a man clockwatching in his office, a woman on the phone in a test tube observing the disintegration of village life. The production integrates visual imagery and choreography with a new text by TS Eliot Award-winning poet Alice Oswald, and an original score. At once museum exhibit, gallery and medical laboratory, Under Glass lifts characters out of the hurly burly of everyday life and frames their moments of solitude; examining human beings attempting with varying success to live within their limits. Under Glass can be shown individually, in clusters, or as a whole series.Producer Fuel. Director Suzy Willson. Music Paul Clark. Design Sarah Blenkinsop. Other Alice Oswald.
