Close5 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.
“I rate Rosie Kay as one of the brightest and most enterprising young choreographers currently at work in the UK.” Donald Hutera, The Times
