5 Soldiers - The Body in the Frontline

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. This event takes place at The Rifles Club, 52-56 Davies Street, W1K 5HR. Tel: 07761 901787
