Holly Blakey, Mica Levi (Micachu And The Shapes)

Choreographer Holly Blakey and composer Mica Levi toy with the structure, sounds and vistas of the Western movie genre.

They create a scorched and sandy playground re-defined by dance and music. Within this desolate landscape, counter-cultural identities crash and frolic with the classic filmic iconography of the American West.

Soon the swaggering strut of the archetypal cowboy begins to morph into a new language of movement.

As the performers question contemporary sexual politics and connect outlaws and outsiders everywhere, the desert becomes the dance floor.
