Created by the award winning director-choreographer
team, Jessica Cohen and Jim Ennis and designed by Mike Brookes,
ROCOCO BLOOD fuses superb radical dance with exceptional
live music and stunning visual imagery in a dynamic dance
theatre work. Memories of first fights and first love are
unmasked as extreme dance and live music spanning hip-hop,
indie and classical, expose the tyrannies within human relationships
and tell of the personal histories and tensions in a fusion
of tenderness, violence, pathos and humour.
The company trained with Cardiff based professional boxing
coach, Clive Williams, and developed a style which mixes new
wave dance with Muhammad Alls poetry in motion.
Break-dance and boxing, rapping and ranting, guitars, trumpet
and hip-hop combine to make ROCOCO BLOOD an unmissable
piece of total theatre shot with sharp social comment.
