Balancing Acts is an absurd, desperate, multitasking, celebratory and damning physical performance about precarity. It is also a published score, an audio description, and a workshop plan. The work will be created with participants currently experiencing housing, employment, or financial insecurity. Balancing Acts can be adapted, re-made, and re-configured in different locations.
Lead artist: Rachael Clerke
