Up Across and Along and Micro-Disco with Kyra Norman

A loosely linear, process-led performance series by Kyra Norman. How do we experience the flow of movement, time, ideas and resources, when we watch a dance performance? This work welcomes you into the uncertain, serendipitous process of dance-making in real time, and invites broader dialogue around the ‘how’ of making art work, in this complex present moment. Previous iterations (CAST, Helston 2018; Auction House, Redruth 2025) brought together artists from around Cornwall to share time and space, proposing improvisation as perhaps the only currently viable economy. For Optimiser! Kyra will share a solo performance and informal chat, followed by an Up, Across and Along-themed micro-disco dance party.

Kyra Norman is an artist, dancer and choreographer with 20+ years’ experience. Her work mostly takes place in galleries, public spaces and outdoors: on land, in water and through weather. She works with embodiment, improvisation and experimental choreography to explore ideas and practices of movement, connection, presence and listening, through live performance, screen media, writing, public workshops and social knees-ups. Kyra lives in West Cornwall, UK. https://www.kyranorman.co.uk
