Peek behind the velvet curtain of The Dirty Work, a new solo performance by Jo Bannon.

Blending the tricks of the trade – a white rabbit, a magic wand, a puff of smoke – with her lived experience of visual impairment, Bannon invites you to glimpse a world where truth and illusion, performance and reality converge. Through delicate choreography and magician’s patter, which reveals more than it conceals, she unveils the invisible labour that shapes how we navigate the world – balancing effortlessly between what is seen and unseen.

Performance contains integrated Audio Description. There is a Touch Tour available before the show.

Ticket holders get access to a free post-show talk.

This performance is part of THIS IS DANCE an international season of dance in Birmingham presented in partnership with Fabric, Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham Rep, Fierce Festival, Midlands Arts Centre and Sampad Arts, bringing exceptional dance from both across the globe and the local community.
