Crone Alone
Crone Alone is the new solo from Brighton based Liz Aggiss, grand dame of anarchic dance and ‘enfant terrible’ of the bus pass generation. Driving herself dizzy with questions of value and worth, she slams down a ‘mindfield’ of unexploded ordinance, angst and deviation. As she zigzags towards the finish line, her mature body testifying to its limitations, Liz Aggiss peels back the bollocks of performance palaver, blazing out her inner crone with clipped dances, poetic outbursts, backchat, delusions of grandeur ... and a horse.
“...inimitable presence – equal parts Weimar cabaret host, dada dancer, rogue feminist and end-of-pier prankster – feels as fresh now as it did when she started out four decades ago.” Sanjay Roy The Guardian
“You can’t take your eyes off her... she’s charismatic to the point of perplexing. Her genius is herself though. What she offers is so genuine... personal, purposeful and profound.” Mathew Paluch Seeing Dance
Liz Aggiss is a Brighton based, award winning performer, director, choreographer and writer. For the past 45 years she has been re(de)fining her own brand of contemporary dance performance, dodging categorisation and being classified as unclassifiable. Blurring the boundaries between high art and popular culture, she makes uncompromising, challenging, feminist work.
Presented by South East Dance in partnership with Brighton Festival.
