FABRIC - ANATOMY OF SURVIVAL
What it is
This offbeat collaboration between award-winning playwright Vivienne Franzmann and choreographer and psychotherapist Frauke Requardt, brings together 22 very different eyewitness accounts of one everyday altercation to show how our nervous systems are stuck in the Stone Age. Performed by two dancers, an actor and a drummer (and one bear).
Anatomy of Survival is a show for all the nervous systems in the auditorium. Come and feel the rise and fall of yours.
Ticket holders get access to a free post-show talk.
This performance is part of THIS IS DANCE an international season of dance in Birmingham presented in partnership with Fabric, Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham Rep, Fierce Festival, Midlands Arts Centre and Sampad Arts, bringing exceptional dance from both across the globe and the local community.
