Slugs and Tangled Bodies
Photo by David Wilson Clarke
Directed and choreographed by Lucy Haighton, Slugs and Tangled Bodies is our first live performance work exploring and celebrating touch. Created during a week long residency at the University of Sheffield Drama Studio in May 2022, Third Bite Dance shared a work in progress in June 2022 with plans to develop further in 2023.
“Tender, creative, adventurous”
(audience member)
Artistic Director Lucy Haighton received a Develop Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council to further her work with older dancers and this piece with Third Bite Dance developed out of that research.
