Touretteshero's Biscuit Land Cabaret
Discover fantastic work by disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill artists in response to the themes of joy, resistance, invisibility and isolation.
This fabulous, free line-up of music, dance, film and spoken word is hosted by Aby Watson, with performances by Ruby Addy, BLINK, Charlie Fitz, Harry Cartmill and Maddie Morris.
Dr Aby Watson is a neuroqueer artist, choreographer, performer, academic, activist and DJ. With special interests in stimming, sensuality and consciousness, Watson’s playful and stimulating sensibility explores non-neuronormative potential within the dance space through rhythm, repetition, senses and collectivity.
Harry Cartmill is a Birmingham-based Bollywood dancer. After perfecting dance routines over the years by watching Bollywood dance scenes, he has further developed his skills by joining the Touretteshero Young Artists Development Programme. Biscuit Land Cabaret is his debut London performance.
BLINK presents a delicious bite-sized excerpt from their show ELVIS DIED OF BURGERS, which toured nationally in 2023. Co-directors Francis Majekodunmi and Rachel Gildea offer up this Burger Duet, re-heated with hot sauce especially for this Unlimited performance.
Ruby Addy is a musician and artist living in East Yorkshire, who has been writing music all her life. Her work explores themes of disability, mental illness, queer identity, trauma and being a fat person, and her music is primarily focused around life experiences and daily living.
Maddie Morris is an artist who strives to make a difference in the world. Bold, insightful and refreshingly unique, they take traditional songs in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues, offering new perspectives about the world we live in today.
Charlie Fitz is an artist, writer, medical humanities researcher and filmmaker. They are a co-founder of Resting Up Collective and a co-director of the remote artist studio TRIAD³. Their film Blueberry Blood and Bubblegum Joints was commissioned by Unlimited and Doorstep Arts.
Commissioned by Unlimited and Touretteshero, this event is the perfect warm up for Burnt Out in Biscuit Land later that evening.
