Althea Young - The Dreaming, produced by Annie Lowry-Thomas

Residency 2 to 7 December

In this residency Althea Young will be developing their solo show The Dreaming with producer Annie Lowry-Thomas.

The Dreaming explores parental ambivalence in times of perma-crisis through the lens of a woman plagued by apocalyptic dreams of babies. This work was originally developed with the Present Futures Bursary and was developed as part of a WorkRoom residency. 

‘Their performance straddles contemporary dance and live art, and dissects sexual desire and autonomy, the desire for having children, the fear of legacy, and the fairy tales we are force-fed as children. It's lyrical, caustic and rather touching, playing with tropes of lust, gender, family and love.’
