The Way You Look (At Me) Tonight
How do we look at each other?
How do we allow ourselves to be seen? How do our bodies shape the ways we perceive the world around us? Can we change how we see others?
The Way You Look (At Me) Tonight is a dance, a song, a story, a sculpture, a play, a fight and a journey. It is performed by leading UK disabled artist Claire Cunningham and international choreographer and performer Jess Curtis, in collaboration with Dr Alva Noë, a philosopher of perception at Berkeley.
In 2005 Curtis was the choreographer who first introduced Cunningham to movement, leading to Cunningham’s career as a choreographer in her own right. Now, a decade later, they are working together again.
They perform a duet that excavates their own habits and ways of seeing each other, as a man and a woman of different ages, bodies and backgrounds.
The Way You Look (At Me) Tonight combines movement, music and text to delve into deep philosophical questions about the act of perception.
This performance is audio described.
