IPAF presents: Lucy McCormick: Lucy & Friends

Lucy McCormick is back with her most ambitious medium-concept queer cabaret spectacular. In a despairing world, Lucy attempts to create community and connection the only way she knows how- through a chaotic mix of pole dancing, cat impersonation, a clairvoyant and some quick re-working of social policy. 

A master of theatrical manipulation and crushing personal vulnerability, Lucy leaves her audiences needing a hug, a cry and an immediate shower.

About The Artist:
Lucy McCormick makes nightclub interruptions, cabaret interventions and extravaganza theatre shows, marrying interests in absurdity, ego and the grotesque. Her practice is cross-genre, taking inspiration from theatre, performance art, comedy and dance. Her breakout show, Triple Threat, reimagines the New Testament as a dance-pop spectacle, which has toured globally to over 30 venues. Her later works Post Popular, Life: LIVE! og Lucy & Venner, explore feminism, identity and vulnerability through excess, intimacy and irreverence. A Research Fellow at Queen Mary University and Associate Artist at Soho Theatre, Lucy also works as an an actor and has performed at the National Theatre, Royal Court, Globe and RSC.

IPAF:

IPAF is Warehouse9’s international performance festival. The festival is a vital extension of the organisation’s dedicated work to support and present LGBTQIA+ artists and cultural practitioners. IPAF is a dynamic meeting place that creates opportunities for artistic development, live performances, and facilitates spaces for dialogue and community.

I år er festivalen co-produceret med Dansehallerne og præsenterer genre-brydende værker i København, der aktivt engagerer sig i identitetspolitik, seksuelle udtryk og kropsrepræsentationer. IPAF er grundlagt på en stærk overbevisning om, at dans og performance kan tilbyde nye perspektiver og forståelser af virkeligheden, inspirere den kollektive fantasi og kæmpe for bedre og mere retfærdige fremtider.

IPAF muliggøres med støtte fra Statens Kunstfond, Københavns Kommune og Dansehallerne.
