Contra is a collaboration between creative producer Nicole A’Court-Stuart and performance maker Laura Murphy. They make, tour and support the development of politically engaged, interdisciplinary and boundary pushing Circus work. Their practice is informed by their queer and neurodivergent leadership, as well as their shared passion for exploring the critical role virtuosic practices can have within live work.

The shows they create are bold, provocative and thoughtful. They hold connection at the heart of their relationship with audiences and experiment with playfulness, vulnerability, and emotional depth in order to forge meaningful links with the people who see their work.
