Rosie Kay presents 5 Soldiers - The Body is the Frontline

Friday 14 May
8.00pm Studio 31

5 SOLDIERS is a timely, controversial, thought provoking and moving exploration of war in modern times. A dance theatre work with five dancers, four male and one female, it looks at how the human body is essential to, and used in, warfare and explores the physical preparation and the mental and physical effects of war.

Featuring Kay's trademark physicality and athleticism, 5 Soldiers weaves a story of physical transformation, helping us understand how soldiers are made and how war affects them.

This performance is a unique collaboration between award-winning choreographer Rosie Kay, visual artist David Cotterrell and theatre director Walter Meierjohann. It follows a period of intense research, where Rosie learnt battle training with The 4th Battalion The Rifles and David spent time in Helmand Province with the Joint Forces Medical Group. The piece has an original sound score by Annie Mahtani and dramaturgy by Petra Tauscher.
