Join our matinee double bill performance from ConfiCo and Mind the Gap, as part of Radical Motion - a new disability-dance festival for Folkestone, hosted by Confidance. This matinee event is designed for people with and without learning disabilities, and includes performances from ConfiCo (Confidance’s professional company) and Mind the Gap. Mind the Gap will open with ‘The Shopping Basket Theory’, a brand-new dance-theatre duet in collaboration with John-William Watson. ConfiCo will follow, premiering ‘Give Me Space’ - a striking new work inspired by their lived experiences of disability. Mind the Gap: The Shopping Basket Theory (15 minutes) What happens when doom and gloom meets cheer, when hopelessness meets hopefulness? In this brand-new dance-theatre duet, a collaboration between Mind the Gap and John-William Watson; two opposing characters search for connection and community whilst trying to embrace each other's differences. If they share the load, will they find empathy and common ground? Mind the Gap collaborates with learning disabled andor autistic artists to create bold, inclusive and original theatre. John-William Watson is a Yorkshire based choreographer, director and dancer from Beeston, Leeds. They create critically acclaimed, darkly-comedic dance plays - often exploring the interplay between silliness, surrealism and existentialism.
