2025

Overview

Recommended Age Guideline 8+

In her eightieth year, Christine wondered if she might create her first show. Who says an octogenarian shouldn’t be working with stepladders, electronics… and water? A performance of persistence and joy, celebrating the beautiful functions and limits of a human body and the desire to make things happen. Assisted by her helper, Calum, Christine manipulates and raps her way along a precarious journey of movement and sound, taking us to surprising places. This is real, what happens along the way we can’t be sure. Just got to keep going! Programmed by Dance Base in collaboration with Assembly.

 

Performed at Assembly Dance Base as part of Made in Scotland 2025.
