AND
Charlotte Mclean
A dance poem about wonder, worries and being alive. A homage to the mothers and grandmothers who have danced before us and the children we are yet to meet, And invites us to consider our view of the world, to relate, debate and dance.
Using honesty, charisma and humour, Scottish dance artist Charlotte Mclean weaves contemporary and highland dance with personal stories, political commentary and spoken word. Exploring being, belonging, friends, family, politics, climate change, independence and reproductive rights to deliver an exciting, empowering and fierce performance.
Charlotte Mclean's work amalgamates dance theatre, improvisation, voice work, imagination, self-celebration, radical listening and joy. Charlotte is a contemporary dance artist from Arbroath, Scotland and a London Contemporary Dance School graduate.
Charlotte began her dancing career with Highland, a traditional Scottish form of movement and taught this from a young age. She has always been passionate about teaching and sharing. She has taught at London Contemporary Dance School; Scottish Dance Theatre; Dance Base Edinburgh, TanzBüro Basel and now teaches at Barbara Bortoli Ballet School.
