Roadworks
Choreography by: Etta Ermini Dance Theatre
Performed by: Gavin Vincent, Yinka Thomas
Roadworks is a 25 minutes quirky and humorous engagement between a dancer and a BMX rider devised and directed by Etta Ermini Dance Theatre.
The dance theatre piece incorporates acrobatics, B-Boying, Contemporary dance, BMX-ing, music, clowning and physical theatre. Through a sequence of humorous events, an entertaining engagement unfolds amongst two characters that use their “art form” as a technique to communicate. Inspired by the Hip Hop “battle” format - a multitude of creative expression is brought to life as they battle for their place on the road.
“Roadworks is a charming, quirky story of rivalry and physical skills, performed with a fresh directness.” (Eckhard Thiemann, International Producer & Promoter)
