A Stroke of Luck

Created by Gretel Burgess

1 in 6 people suffer a stroke in their lifetime.

A Stroke Of Luck is an intimate exploration of the journey of stroke survivor Gretel Burgess, age 42. A triptych of Dance Theatre works (Coagulation, Diversion and Liability) portray Gretel’s experience leading up to, during, and post the stroke. It examines the causal factors that impact on the physical and mental self, including the broader implications that stroke has on family members.
