Raw
The complex dynamics of a simple night out
Thankfully, Irish company Fidget Feet shuns empty virtuosity for the richer expression derived from contemporary dance. Its latest work, RAW, seasmlessly integrates aerial and floorbound movement into a deeply energetic portrayal of clubbing.

Breathtaking circus, gravity-defying aerial dancework and erotic, fragile and fierce, RAW is an electifying and dreamlike evocation hedonistic nightlife. The DJ slips into a shamanic mode that infects the clubbers and as the night enfolds the story explores the balance between strength, vulnerability, violence and harmony, laughter and tears.
RAW explores themes of identity, fear and power and asks questions of our attitude to clubland. Are we in a fun-loving club or a social prison? Do we go to transcend our ordinary lives and forget the rules? Or to follow our peers and to be part of the gang?
WHAT IS AERIAL DANCE?
It’s Dance! It’s Creative! It’s flying with style! Combining athleticism & creative expression. While using low-hanging trapeze, aerial silks, spirals, hoops & cocoons. A beautiful art form, while having fun and building strength!
