Peggy Shaw and Clod Ensemble – MUST (2009)
Must is a poetic look at what it feels like to have a body. It excavates the memories and images contained in the joints and layers of bone.

She co-founded with Lois Weaver The WOW Cafe Theatre in New York, and the World-renowned Touring Theatre Company Split Britches, both of which have been in operation for 26 years.

She is the recipient of three Village Voice Obie Awards and has also been awarded the Stonewall Award for ‘making the world a better place.

“ Exquisite… This is open-heart surgery of the artistic kind, performed without anaesthetic.” The Guardian
