Week 53: Power

Power celebrates stories of strength, resilience, connection, choice and change – of feeling powerful, even in an uncertain world.

After almost 20 years as a circus Strong Lady, performing feats-of-strength, Charmaine is using her strength and circus physicality to tell you stories. Power is an energetic, optimistic (and at times moving) solo show that weaves her own experiences with an array of real people’s stories, collected in interviews with men and women around the UK.

A Week 53 commission for The Lowry, Salford with The Lawrence Batley. Created with funding from Arts Council England, Cambridge Junction and Creative Arts East with generous support from Turtle Key Arts, Metal and Seachange Arts.
