The new work explores what it's like to live with chronic pain
Pain and I is presented across live audio and visual platforms to further promote access, disability arts and equity as part of the Made in Scotland Showcase 2022.
Glasgow-based Hopfinger said she created Pain and I in response to her own experience of living with chronic pain for 19 years.“Until recently I had related to my pain as a barrier and hindrance to my life and work but over the past three years I have been exploring how to turn towards my pain differently, using dance and performance to creatively collaborate with it,” she said.
“I wanted to explore the spectrum of chronic pain experience – the struggles, difficulties, challenges, insights, learning. I was also inspired to create Pain and I to develop ways of dancing and performing that embrace, rather than work against or despite, my chronic pain body. The performance features playful choreography, experimental dance and intimate autobiographical text, paired with an original classical music composition by Alicia Jane Turner. It invites the audiences to reflect on what it means to care for themselves and each other in times of personal and collective pain.
