Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September 2015
Bodysurf Scotland presents Uprise Dance Festival in Moray and Inverness this September. Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, the world’s first contemporary ice-skaters Le Patin Libre join the acclaimed Marc Brew Company, challenging expectations and taking dance off-stage.
(i)Land | Marc Brew Company
Friday 4 September 2015, 2pm & 6pm
Saturday 5 September 2015, 11am & 2pm
Roseisle Beach, Kinloss (off the B9089 to Burghead), Moray
(i)Land is a dance performance that follows three characters faced with life on deserted island as they uncover the means of escape back to civilisation. Drawing inspiration from such stories as The Lord of the Flies and Castaway, (i)Land engages audiences, questioning our perception of the body, the politics of disability, isolation and exclusion, integrity and invention. The production is centred upon a six-ton pile of sand which provides choreographer Marc Brew with a safe dance space to explore movement in solo, duet and trio, away form his wheelchair.
