We recently welcomed artist Claudia Palazzo to Toynbee Studios for a Lab residency to further develop her work "Our Suspended Corridors."

Claudia is a London born artist working at the intersections and contradictions of dance, performance art, installation and alternative cabaret. It is often poetic, unmanageable, meditative and violent in its structure.

Influenced by roots in psychophysical training, inner-city structures and club culture, allowing space for dissociation and reassociation as a way of processing, contextualising and navigating things which may feel enormous. Claudia is looking for things to represent her dancing body in her absence. She is interested in subliminal and feral communication with architecture and an audience and wonders how we can challenge ableist ideals of mobility without succumbing to soft control that is disguised as care. Claudia is currently concerned with alternatives to individualism whilst also trying to de-censor her autobiography. Claudia has also had a 17+ year career as a performer in the work of many artists and choreographers.
