Disordering Dance
Dr Aby Watson is a neuroqueer artist, choreographer, performer, academic & activist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Aby’s work is polymorphic—shifting fluidly across contemporary performance and knowledge exchange, with a focus on radical neurodiversity. With special interests in neuroqueering, stimming, sensuality, and consciousness, her playful, stimulating choreographic sensibility explores non-neuronormative potentials through rhythm, repetition, ritual, and togetherness. Under the moniker ‚Disordering Dance‘, Dr Watson’s choreographic research explores non-neuronormative approaches to making and experiencing dance, centred on modes of neurodivergent embodiment and consciousness. / www.abywatson.co.uk
