Description
I had a great chat with choreographer, dancer and designer Theo Clinkard, in early June 2020. In addition to making pieces for his own company, pieces like Ordinary Courage (2012) Chalk (2014), Of Land & Tongue (2014), This Bright Field (2017), he has also made work for Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba, and Candoco Dance Company - among others.Theo and I talked about the work he is currently developing ‘The Century Project’, his desire to engage in slow thinking – in both his life and his work, and his desire to move both his life and his work out of traditional performance spaces. Despite the current threat to opportunities for intimacy and proximity, both key parts of Theo’s work, it felt like the post-covid landscape might strangely align with the hopes he had anyway, for a more sustainable practice and a sector with access and diversity more firmly at its heart.Seehttp://www.theoclinkard.comhttps://www.under-story.com
