About the residency:

Craig will use their residency to develop a new creative project about queerness and place. Building on initial research undertaken at Lyth Arts Centre in November 2021, this project aims to be a collaboration between Craig’s current residence of Glasgow and his home county of Caithness that utilises dance, moving image and sound design to explore dichotomies between queer utopia/dystopia, rural/urban, Scottish/Norse mythology, and the experiences of local LGBTQIA+ people who live in both places.
