Lucy Gaydecki is a theatre maker whose performance work is influenced by live art, clowning and drag. In September 2022 Gaydecki completed an MA in Contemporary Performance at Manchester School of Theatre (MST). During her time at MST Gaydecki begun using theatre and performance to research the role of the mother in society. Gaydecki uses techniques from drag and clowning to create work addressing the way mothers are sexualized in society. She uses, grotesque, visceral imagery to make audiences confront biases and address the uncomfortable way society allows these norms to continue.
Since leaving MST Gaydecki is continuing her research around motherhood and popular culture to develop her solo show Lovely Day.
