Rosie Kay Dance Company - 5 Soldiers - The Body in the Frontline
Work:: Rosie Kay Dance Company (S1052190876)
Production:: 5 Soldiers - The Body in the Frontline (T01732210792)
5 Soldiers - The Body Is The Frontline is a powerful dance-theatre production that explores the physicality of modern warfare, and the idea that despite modern military technological advances we still use human physical violence as a threat, a deterrent, a weapon. Typical of Kay’s brutal and athletic style, this timely, provocative and extremely hard-hitting work investigates how the soldiers are physically trained and the physiological impact it has on them. Rosie Kay spent over a year securing a period of research with the British Army. 5 Soldiers comes out of a combination of this experience as well as the deep knowledge of the body a choreographer brings to this type of activity.
