NEW WORK – ‘The Chinaski Sessions’ …

DHD is excited to announce that it will be working with Lyon based choreographer Kylie Walters in 2012.
THE CHINASKI SESSIONS
With a wink to Charles Bukowski’s cult character Henry Chinaski, choreographer Kylie Walters coaxes six testosterone-crazed men to live through an evening of debauchery and revelation. Trapped in a rock-band’s home studio as they try to finish their new album, this live concert/show collides virtuoso Belgian rock duo I Love Sarah’s (Jeroen Stevens/Rutger De Brabander) scorching math rock with four of Scotland’s best dancers (David Hughes Dance) amongst copious amounts of beer and bravaderie.
On stage, a homemade, squat-style space has been flung together, decked out with a drum kit and the musicians’ instruments.
This place is like a drop-in center, a halfway house for low life to hang out, play, dance, drink and dream – or maybe hallucinate.
Low-fi beginnings become hi-fi horrors as the fine line between recognizable every day reality and bizarre fictive world is trampled.
The rock-den sessions become a playing field for old grievances, one-upmanship and drunken reconciliations.
Vicious drumming, cutting wit and cunning moves form a microcosm of manhood stretching from sex-driven smut to sublime creative insight.
Chiseled beauty from the sweat covered wreckage of the night.
