Hugh Malyon
Hugh is a south-west based disabled artist who’s practice sits between the space of digital and live performance. Hugh wants to directly challenge categorisation, re-writing notions of what is disabling about being disabled. Shifting perceptions of disability towards positive identity drives his creative work, from the mundane to the theatrical.
Hughs work sits between theatre, performance, dialogue, live art and digital media. He’s interested in the flow between performance and space - a dynamic approach to explore, understand, question and ultimately challenge ‘othering’.
Hugh legitimises his lived experience as a disabled body to create original performance and engage audiences on a human level.
