Choreographer Cathy Waller set up her own company to showcase and promote the powerful, high quality dance that can be led by both disabled and non-disabled artists creating and performing together. Cathy Waller Co. has worked over the last 10 years to critical acclaim.
Built initially on Cathy’s own experience of invisible disability, her three part suite Us explores the wider world of invisibility, specifically the human desire or need to hide or keep secret certain parts of ourselves, our emotions and our experiences. The Us Suite provides a social commentary on the universal themes of vulnerability, isolation and resilience, putting invisible voices centre stage.
The Us Suite is a three part artistic experience for audiences, which can be booked separately or together. You are also Us is a new 15 minute dance film directed by Cathy Waller and choreographed by her with 15 dancers. It was filmed on drones in stunning National Trust locations in Dorset. You and Us is a new full length dance work for stage settings performed to driving music by MOBO Award-winning Lewis Wright. The cast of five disabled and non-disabled dancers bring to life the theme through fast-paced, grounded movement and narrative sections of real-life stories. Unseen | Unmasked is an exhibition of nine large photographs specially commissioned from photographer Harris which explore experiences of Neurodivergence.
