Co-presented with Birmingham Hippdrome as part of THIS IS DANCEPeek behind the velvet curtain of The Dirty Work, a new solo performance by Jo Bannon.
Blending the tricks of the trade – a white rabbit, a magic wand, a puff of smoke – with her lived experience of visual impairment, Bannon invites you to glimpse a world where truth and illusion, performance and reality converge. Through delicate choreography and magician’s patter, which reveals more than it conceals, she unveils the invisible labour that shapes how we navigate the world – balancing effortlessly between what is seen and unseen.
Through a Crip lens and with a trick up her sleeve, Bannon reveals ‘the dirty work’ that often goes unnoticed on stage and in everyday life. This isn’t just a magic show; it’s a meditation on visibility, disability, and the unseen labour we all perform.
Say ‘white rabbit’ three times, and see the magic unfold before your very eyes!
