“Claxton’s drive to make dance happen took her globe-trotting beyond her adopted country, Scotland, to Australia [her birthplace], New Zealand, the USA, Japan, Taiwan, India, Spain and the Netherlands. Her passion for prising dance out of conventional spaces, revealing it to the ‘accidental audience’ saw her company perform in zoos, parks, museums and galleries.” Her final triumph, titled POP Up Duets, was created in 2016 for the galleries of the National Museum of Scotland and has since toured internationally, with a huge success this summer at Jacob’s Pillow.
