Not for Glory
Where & when
Type: Theatre
By Jack Anderson and Charlotte Mclean in collaboration with Malin Lewis, not for glory is a restless, relentless, rebellious unravelling of traditional dance and music.
It is not a radical Highland Dance show, not a reinvented Irish dance display and not an experimental piping competition. It’s bodies, bagpipes and brutality. It’s kilts, queerness and ceremonial violence. It’s back beats, high cuts, striking in, a battering, flinging skirl.
not for glory resuscitates tradition with respect and resilience, dissects heritage and dances solidarity. It’s a dance-theatre gig balancing virtuosity with vulnerability, pride with shame.
Three performers reclaim the traditions they grew up in, not for glory – but for what? Tickets: £16 adv (concessions £14) / £18 on the door Age: 8+ Content: Loud Music
