AN ANXIOUS AGENDA by OLIVIA MACLEAN & THE WOODS HIP HOP COMPANY ✨ An Anxious Agenda is a 30-minute contemporary dance work that combines hip-hop dance, music, and DJ arts to explore the complexities of her disability, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). MacLean uses hip-hop culture as a backdrop to narrate her experiences with SPD, which have shaped her life since her teenage years. The performance features a complex soundtrack of 20 songs and samples, carefully mixed and produced by Brandon Skeete (DJ Skeeter B), which amplifies the sensory layers and disruptions associated with SPD. The work began in 2021 in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, with an in-progress presentation at Kinetic’s Open Studio Series. It was further developed through Votive Dance’s 2024 Play Explore Research (PER) Program and The Woods Hip-Hop Dance Company’s 2024/25 Choreographic Mentorship Program. A new iteration of the work was presented at Bus Stop Theatre’s StART Festival in August 2024.
