Reasons to stand on one leg
2019. Solo danced-lecture.
As an older dance-artist, Sue Hawksley notices a tendency for certain categories of action to occur less often in her practice, and in particular, the category of doing difficult things balancing on one leg. It's so much effort. what reasons could there possibly be to stand on one leg? She begins to research the subject, finds loads of reasons, and creates a solo dance work in which she dances and discusses Reasons to Stand on One Leg
