Perspective
Walking:Holding
Commissioned in 2011, Walking:Holding is an experiential live performance that involves one audience member at a time. An audience member is guided through a planned route, holding hands with different people. The performance was created through 'holding hands experiments' in Glasgow with couples, of different ages, sexualities and races, and aims to challenge prejudices, with the experience of walking in someone else's shoes — or hands.[1]
Cade's performance roots lies in the experience of lesbian, gay and bisexual people.[3] Walking:Holding's audience members are local participants who range in age, gender, race, sexuality and background.[3] Walking: Holding foregrounds their sexuality [4] and strives to align their work with both the terms ‘queer’ and ‘lesbian'[4]
The Making of Pinocchio (Cade & MacAskill)
Cade collaborated with their partner Ivor MacAskill to create The Making of Pinocchio, which was described by The Guardian as "a funny, clever and thoughtful two-hander, rich in playful imagery and direct-to-camera asides, about identity, definition and acceptance."[5] The performance was featured in festivals such as LIFT (London International Festival of Theatre) and Take Me Somewhere (Glasgow).[6]
