Stan Won’t Dance - BABEL January 21, 2010

Thursday 21 & Friday 22 January 1930hrs
Stan Won’t Dance
BABEL

Babel. noun. a confused noise made by a number of voices.

Five years ago, Stan Won't Dance smashed onto the scene and broke all the rules about what theatre and dance should be. Daring to say what is often left unsaid, the company is now back to hold the theatre world hostage with its most provocative and hard-hitting piece to date...BABEL.

Combining explosive movement with words of mass destruction, the choreographic mavericks Liam Steel and Robert Tannion create the ultimate act of dance-theatre terrorism. Abrasive, anarchic, honest and uncompromising; nothing and no-one is safe as an all male cast collapses our safe ivory towers of political correctness, to ask fundamental questions about the Britain in which we live.

Commissioned by Swindon Dance and Salisbury Arts Centre. Co-produced by Laban Theatre and Stan Won’t Dance in association with Apples and Snakes, supported by Arts Council England and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
