GAWKY AND AWKWARD

A solo that explores one dancer’s struggle with dyslexia

‘Whether you see dyslexia as a disability or not, it affects your daily life, and you have to get to a place of accepting it for its foibles, what it gives you, and what it takes away – the way it interrupts your life… In that way it is so like Love.’ (Caroline Bowditch)
