ABUNDANCE BY LIZZIE KLOTZ (2026)

Please Lizzie Klotz’s website here.

Extract of Text by Lizzie: Abundance is an intergenerational dance performance that invites audiences to slow down, rest and reconnect.

Performed by 6 women – 3 professional dancers and 3 volunteer dancers recruited locally at each venue – the work moves through moments of pleasure, weight and release, accompanied by live music from Me Lost Me.

The work begins with a pause – a spacious moment of stillness. People move, howl, rest, leap, reverberate and hold one another.

Colourful duvets fill the space – folded, flung and gathered; worn, sculpted, hidden beneath and danced within – shaping shifting landscapes that emerge and dissolve with playfulness and imagination.

At its centre, Abundance asks what it might mean to feel enough.

The performance sits alongside a wider programme including an installation, clay workshops, community feasts and participatory events exploring collective abundance.
