Anything but...exotic/COAL/Dulce et Decorum (excerpt) - T1324940405Different notions of nationality and duty are examined in a triple bill of works about Britishness. In [Rashpal Singh Bansal]'s Anything...but exotic, three Bharatanatyam dancers perform classical Indian choreography as an impassioned challenge to the mainstream perception of British Asian Dance. [Gary Clarke]'s COAL explores the dark underbelly of the mining industry as five miners hack their way through a soundscape of brass bands and thunderous machinery in a moving demonstration of unity and survival. National Dance Award nominee [Sally Marle]'s [Sweetshop Revolution] presents an excerpt from Dulce et Decorum in which three lost wartime Samaritans long to escape their civic lives in a land of hope without glory.Choreographer Rashpal Singh Bansal (Anything but...exotic).
