NEW WORK FOR 2012 – ‘The Chinaski Sessions’ by Kylie Walters
Kylie Walters is the “Hot-head of dance”, a multi-talented artist, “astonishing in her way of dailoguing with extremes onstage”. Kylie Walters, “the arrow”, has performed internationally and works with choreographers and directors such as Wim Vandekeybus, Davis Freeman, Lloyd Newson and Nasser Martin-Gousset. Walters’ career embraces theatre, dance and music producing live perfomance works, films and choreographic installations.
The new work will be a hybrid of dance, music and theatre like you have never seen……
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.
Low-fi beginnings become hi-fi horrors as the fine line between recognizable every day reality and bizarre fictive world is trampled.
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.
