About this deal

The owners said they have no current plans other than taking some time off, but added there could be a future opportunity to revive the Look Mum No Hands name. The sad story of the Thalidomide scandal- where pregnant mothers took a supposedly safe drug which resulted in multiple children being born without limbs. The author highlights the fact that only in the USA is the drug still considered very dangerous. Elsewhere, to the horror of the author, it has been renamed and rebranded and is being used to treat other diseases considered more lethal e.g. leprosy. While it is usually used in the context of hands-free bike riding, it doesn't have to be. It is also used when there is no bike at all in the picture (nor any handlebars), as is elaborated in their blog:

Through this week of action we want to make all of our roads safer by raising awareness and encouraging motorists to consider their driving behaviour – not only on the M6 but on all of our roads.

This uplifting play speaks to anyone who’s experienced an event that has shaken their world. Look, No Hands is a story about hope and survival, the female cycling experience, Post Traumatic Growth and how we rebuild in the face of adversity. Waka mentions in numerous interviews his love of 2Pac and names him as one of his favourite MCs in this list of his all time favourite raps. He is quoted: Brain Gault is a survivor having been born without arms. He details his early childhood in a loving family. He is continually frustrated by the authorities attempting to force him to wear prosthetics which are cumbersome and cause injury. Until he reaches his teenage years and finally throws off the burden once and for all by refusing to wear them. It reminded me of David casting off Saul's heavy armour in favour of his slingshot. Much of the book is devoted to these frustrations and how he manages them.

We’ve all been there: Face down on asphalt after deluding ourselves into believing we had the physical aptitude to a ride a bicycle without touching the handlebars. One way of boasting of this imminent disaster is to shout, “Look Ma, no hands!” just before eating pavement.

As we mentioned, last year, the show had a successful run at Pleasance, London. However, the 2021 planned Edinburgh Fringe production was cancelled due to uncertainty around Covid19. This was a great disappointment to the whole creative team, as it limited the show’s potential to reach wider audiences and cut short the possibility to establish the new partnerships and exposure that the Fringe offers to artists at our career stage.

On Wednesday (8th February), partners Lewin Chalkley, Matthew Harper, and Sam Humpheson announced that the café in Old Street, Islington had closed after 13 years of business. Look, No Hands makes for a genuinely exciting piece of theatre...Clements’ show is clever and engaging.” ~A Younger Theatre

While this play centres around a road trauma, ultimately it's an uplifting story of hope and survival for our times, which speaks to anyone who's had their life turned upside down. Accessibility. We want to make Look, No Hands as accessible as possible, so these funds will go towards paying for a BSL interpreter for a performance during the run. I believe that God will use my disability to help others come to faith in the God who never makes mistakes. He made me without arms for a purpose and I trust He will use me to take His love to those whom He has created to be "different." A legendary meme, one of the few speculated to have been directly graced by the hands of creation itself. Many will attempt to use this phrase primarily in reference to the Biking maneuver, in which an individual will remove both of their hands from the handle bars and proceed to (impressively) pilot their vehicle. Like most memes, the true power of this phrase lies in the awareness/intellect of the person observing it - and the intent of the user. To truly begin to understand such a powerful, seemingly subjective string of words, one must understand the implications of the phrase.

The record was leaked in May 2010 before being officially released in August. The song entered the Hot 100 at #45 and rose to a highest position of #13. It has been certified 3x platinum by RIAA. The music video was also released in August and features a cameo from DJ Drama. When Vee embarks on her cycling commute, she has no idea she’ll never make it home. Appearing in Court to face the driver - suffering from amnesia, armed only with her hospital notes, a surprise appearance on 24 Hours in A&E and a bag of ripped clothes - she tries to piece together what happened to her that day. But what she can’t work out is why something so awful... can make her feel so fantastic. This new one person play is inspired by a real life cycling collision Lila experienced in 2010. Exploring the female identifying cycling experienceand the phenomenon known as Post Traumatic Growth, Look, No Hands has been made in partnership with the fantastic female and non-binary cycling club .orig.
