Roadworks
by Etta Ermini Dance Theatre

Roadworks – has been under major construction and without any further delay you can now experience the revamped piece for 2013….
 
Roadworks - is a quirky and humorous engagement between two dancers, a BMX rider and a busker, devised and directed by Etta Ermini.
 
The 30 minutes dance theatre piece incorporates acrobatics, B-Boying, Contemporary dance, BMX-ing, music, clowning and physical theatre. Through a sequence of humorous events, an entertaining engagement unfolds amongst three characters that use their 'art-form' as a technique to
communicate. Inspired by the Hip Hop !battle" format - a multitude of creative expression is brought to life as they battle for their place on the road.   
 
Roadworks has been causing major traffic on tour throughout 2010/11 and has been performed at a number of venues. In majority, the piece has been self – funded and has received support from Big Dance Micro – Grants, Trinity Laban, Blue Elephant Theatre and various local authorities.  

Roadworks is available as a 7 minute, 15 minute and or a 30 minute piece and can be performed both outdoor, indoor and public spaces. It works especially well for cross art form, multi disciplinary festivals and even specialists events as it promotes collaboration and cross art-form practice.

“With a tongue and cheek approach I wanted to highlight our current street
culture, and how people tend to make instant judgements to an individuals!
choices.
 
For example, the way someone pushes past you on a train, to one!s choice in fashion - to what music someone is listening to, even sometimes the way someone walks. There are many parallels in the attitude we adopt to the way we deal with these assumptions. It is the same with these characters. This was a chance to uncover the stereotypes we build in our mind and break them down in through a few moves, words and music.”
