Extraordinary Bodies to establish youth performance company

JAMIE BEDDARD and CLAIRE HODGSON, founders of integrated circus company Extraordinary Bodies, have won a £100,000 prize to establish an integrated youth performance company for people from disadvantaged backgrounds and with mixed physical abilities in five UK cities. The pair were among 346 Fellows of the Clore Leadership and Clore Social Leadership programmes who were invited to nominate a project that they believed should be chosen to benefit from a £450k Clore Anniversary Prize fund. A further seven Clore Fellows will receive £50k each.
