Set to an original score featuring live strings, percussion and bagpipes, An Anatomie in Four Quarters celebrates the physical structure of the bodies we inhabit and the ways we attempt to see, define, contain, name and value them.

The magnificent anatomy of Sadler’s Wells theatre is itself dissected as the audience promenade to different viewing positions throughout the piece, examining what it means to open up and to be opened.

Clod Ensemble has been making work that crosses the boundaries between dance, theatre and visual art for over a decade led by award-winning collaborators Suzy Willson and Paul Clark. Clod Ensemble has been specially commissioned to make this site-responsive piece for the Sadler’s Wells Theatre – the first in its history.

The piece is one of the events in Clod Ensemble’s Performing Medicine Anatomy Season 2011 – a series of conversations, performances and workshops taking place across London between October and December 2011. 

The 5pm performance on Sunday 30th October will be a Sign Interpreted Performance.
