Gestures of Care puts two friends alongside each other – one 'able-bodied' and one 'disabled' – to question our assumptions and challenge our understanding of what it looks and feels like to live in a body that juxtaposes the space and pace of the world around you.
A works-in-progress with movement, autobiography and sound, Gestures of Care is a playful, messy, and angry attempt to find a way of communicating how invisible disabilities manifest in the body.
The development of Gestures of Care has been generously supported by Arts Council England and Contact Theatre.
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
