This double bill features two new works dealing with reactions to cancer diagnoses. Renowned local multi-disciplinary artist and writer Kate Story’s humorous, erudite and poignant work Hysterical uses movement and storytelling to get to heart of their experience, whilst also tackling the wider questions of bodies with uteruses and their position in the medical establishment. Allison Cummings’ pure dance work approaches the subject from a more visceral place. Told through the lens of survivors Cummings and locally-born and raised dancer Christy Stoeten who performs the piece, Opponent explores their shared experiences with diagnosis, treatment, and the permanent impact Breast Cancer has had on their lives, bodies and creative selves.
