Holly, a dyspraxic living in this neurotypical world. Expect joy, frustration and some exaggerated arm movements.
This is a show about me, Holly, a dyspraxic living in this neurotypical world. Expect some joy, some frustration, and rather a lot of exaggerated arm movements. You may even find out what dyspraxia actually is, well for me anyway.
Flappy is an autobiographical show developed and performed by Holly Clark. It explores what Dyspraxia is and what it means to be Holly, the challenges of living in a society that disables, as well as acceptance and celebration of being dyspraxic, neurodivergent and disabled.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Holly initially undertook a three-day nest online residency with Talking Birds in December 2020 to help develop an initial idea. This led to Holly receiving Arts Council England funding for research and development in May 2021, working with choreographer Eleanor Rattenbury and theatre maker and dramaturg Jane English, with support from Arena Theatre Wolverhampton and Friction Arts.
Flappy has been awarded Arts Council England Project Grants funding for further development and a small tour
