Gravity & Levity

About

‘No. 1 Dance show to see this month' Time Out London (May '14) ‘Brutally clear-eyed… Bhuller and Butcher are fine choreographers' The Guardian This passionate and moving aerial dance performance has been described by audiences as ‘captivating', ‘dumbfounding' and ‘visually stunning': six dancers literally shift your perspective with breathtaking skill. From the trenches of World War 1 to the streets of present-day Afghanistan, the impact of war on the lives of ordinary men and women is powerfully told through beautifully crafted choreography - both on the stage and in the air - fused with film, poetry, music and news commentary. For over a decade, Gravity & Levity has been at the forefront of aerial dance performance in the UK. For Rites of War, Artistic Director Lindsey Butcher collaborates with acclaimed choreographer Darshan Singh Bhuller and longtime BBC war reporter David Loyn. The result is a rich tapestry of striking imagery that will leave indelible marks on the mind. Duration: 65 minutes | For ages 12+ Rites of War is supported by Arts Council England through the National Lottery
