UNBOXED by Linden Dance Company

Location: Birmingham

Venue: Centenary Square

Presented as part of EveryBody Dancing at Festival 23

UNBOXED is an explosive outdoor duet in which the dancers set themselves in opposition to two giant wooden cubes in a physical representation of their battle with prejudice and judgment.

The work explores how bias and prejudgement can affect the way we view ourselves and the relationships we form, moving towards a place of understanding and togetherness that brings hope for the future.

The toxicity of the subject matter reverberates in the pulsing soundtrack and the performers’ athletic physicality which draws on Afro-fusion and Contemporary movement styles.
