The assembly
Armed with a beat-box and an attitude, live-art provocateur Liz Aggiss took on Caravan. Over the three days of the assembly, she selected from a repertoire of short, sharp dance pieces to amuse, baffle and challenge audiences on their way into performances. Reconstructing archive choreography, mashing up the past, the present, fact and fiction, Guerrilla Dances builds into a coherent sequence of astonishing monochrome vignettes. Liz Aggiss has many bees in her dancing bonnet and mercifully none of them take very long. She tagged Caravan like a Banksy of the dance-world. Watch out everyone. |
