About Theatre with Legs
Theatre with Legs (TWL) are performance/live art makers Jess Murrain and Lua Bairstow. We create queer and experimental live art using contemporary poetry, radical sound composition, movement and music. We seek to experiment with subversive and counter-cultural storytelling-where the personal meets the political, seeking always to queer performance and to undermine the white and cis-gender gaze. Theatre with Legs have been making and sharing work in Bradford since 2016 including in residency and in public facing performance.
With the support of Bradford 2025 and Neuroqueering Humans Network, Theatre with Legs now seek a radical exploration of neuroqueering as verb, adjective, action, and identity.
