In her Performance Lecture, Liz Aggiss asks the question: how does a mature, post-modern, solo, female dancer, originally from a bleak post-war suburb in Essex, with a feverish commitment to the lost dances of Central Europe and a rather ad hoc and irregular dance education, seek out the shadows from the past, stalk them relentlessly and embed and sustain herself within the British dance culture for the past 30 years?
Professor Aggiss takes you on her oddball journey from Wiggling with The Stranglers in 1980, to Grotesque Dancer in 1986, and on to Guerrilla Dancing in 2009. From stage to screen-dance and back again, performing live, showing her dance films, chatting and generally entertaining her public, this “Vivienne Westwood of the dance world” dodges categorisation and enjoys being classified as unclassifiable.
