Claudia is a London born artist working at the intersections and contradictions of dance, performance art, installation and alternative cabaret. It is often poetic, unmanageable, meditative and violent in its structure. Influenced by roots in psychophysical training, inner-city structures and club culture, allowing space fordissociation and reassociation as a way of processing, contextualising and navigating things which may feel enormous. Claudia is looking for things to represent her dancing body in her absence. She is interested in subliminal and feral communication with architecture and an audience and wonders how we can challenge ableist ideals of mobility without succumbing to soft control that is disguised as care. Claudia is currently concerned with alternatives to individualism whilst also trying to de-censor her autobiography. Claudia has also had a 17+ year career as a performer in the work of many artists and choreographers.
“During this residency I will be developing my performance work “Our Suspended Corridors” alongside sound artist Conrad Kira. We first made this work in 2023. We are hoping to make it visible again this year. I am exploring Invisible concepts of the body and city such as inherent strength, Impact damage and how we might question the notion that the “non natural” environment is not conducive to healing. Conrad and I have been working together for a while researching and experimenting with the relationships between bass music, the different states of cement and support structures. This residency in our home city, in a safe studio feels really important for us to be able to re work the choreographic score to accommodate rapidly changing physicality, so that disease does not equate to disappearance.” – Claudia
