Claire Cunningham

In this Lecture demonstration Claire Cunningham shares her distinct movement style “Quanimacy” – developed via the deliberate use/misuse, study and distortion of her crutches.



Claire Cunningham explores how rejecting formal dance training and techniques created for non-disabled bodies have informed and re/shaped her practice.

She will discuss how her focus has shifted from exploring the connection between her crutches and her body to investigating how her crutches connect her to the world; how her work is influenced by her lived experience of disability and its impact on how society thinks about knowledge, value, connection, and interdependence.
