Clive Andrews

My career/life practice, research, training and performing has been across the various movement based forms of Circus, Physical Theatre and Dance. I have worked extensively as a solo Contemporary Clown. Performed in Janis Claxton Dance Human Animal series and in the Dance Theatre works of Angus Balbernie.
I was Dramaturg with Janis Claxton Dance on a number of shows and was Performance Director and Rehearsal Director for POP Up duets.
This led me, along with the wealth of experience in various body and performative techniques to pursue an MA in Directing Circus and Performance from which I graduated in March 2021 with a distinction. My main area of expertise is Movement Dramaturgy.
I am developing my own work Something Happened, a Dance Aerial Theatre piece exploring Grief and Living in Present Absence. Informed by working and living through the COVID Pandemic, video created with performers online during this time is integrated into an immersive promenade multi-directional performance. Supported by Creative Scotland and Dance Base.
I recently danced in Field- Curious Seed at EIF and with Something Smashing at Dance Base at Edfringe.
I have recently worked in various Directorial roles with Paper Doll Milita on EGG, A Wire Apart and Arthropda and with Skye Reynolds on #trolleyscores & saints .
I have a primary interest in the expressiveness of the whole human through emotionally embodied movement in cogent theatrical contexts.
I am currently continuing my ongoing interest in movement improvisation by taking online classes with Sten Rudstrom and in person with Christine Devaney.
