Lady Example by Alice Will Caroline

Presented by Arts House as part of Dance Massive.

Created and performed by Alice Dixon, Caroline Meaden and William McBride, with an ensemble of collaborating artists, Lady Example undertakes a deranged and exquisite stocktake of our histories and mythologies to propose a litany of new, glorious, shuddering worlds. Combining contemporary dance and theatre, this shimmering and mischievous performance considers the historical and contemporary feminine—on our stages, on our screens and in the performance of everyday life—and explores with poignancy and wit the lady examples that made us, and the lady examples we are making still.
