The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs - present The Colquhouns and The Marjoribanks with BabbleBand in - Flag (1988 and 2006)

Work:: The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs (S0323644216)

Two outstanding companies frantically re-order fragments of time to create the last and latest cabaret show, in this rare opportunity to see the Cholmondeleys and the Featherstonehaughs on stage together.

Production:: present The Colquhouns and The Marjoribanks with BabbleBand in - Flag (1988 and 2006) (T0882866165)

Flag was originally created by Anderson in 1988 for her contemporary dance companies The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs. Cutting-and-pasting clichés of national identity to humourous effect, Flag’s iconic images, playful style and inventive choreography took the arts world by storm. The production was name-checked everywhere from national papers to underground arts magazines and Vogue. 18 years on, a new generation of talented young performers offer an exciting and vital performance of this classic piece. As The Colquhouns and The Marjoribanks (pronounced Cahoons and Marchbanks), Kent-based dancers aged 12 to 19 bring a new energy to Anderson’s sharp-eyed choreography. Dazzling costumes are provided by Oscar-winning designer Sandy Powell (The Aviator, Shakespeare in Love), and the piece is accompanied by BabbleBand: musicians aged 15 to 17 who have worked with composer Steve Blake to realise the original score.
