not for glory
Cecil Sharp House, NW1 7AY , [Venue Details]Highland dance, Irish dance, and live piping in a dance-theatre gig that is as thrillingly physical as it is emotionally charged.
not for glory is a restless, relentless unravelling of traditional dance and music. Jack Anderson and Charlotte Mclean, in collaboration with composer Malin Lewis, bring together Highland dance, Irish dance, and live piping in a dance-theatre gig that is as thrillingly physical as it is emotionally charged.
The performers revisit the traditions they grew up in – and the result is virtuosic, visceral, and uncompromising. They dissect their heritage while dancing solidarity, balancing pride with shame and vulnerability with breathtaking skill. It’s bodies, bagpipes, and brutality. It’s kilts, queerness, and ceremonial violence. Back beats collide with high cuts, striking in to a battering, flinging skirl.
Rebellious, funny, and fiercely alive, not for glory makes a powerful case for reclaiming what we inherit on our own terms. Whether you know your reels from your jigs or have never been within ten feet of a set of pipes, this is a show that will pull you onto the dance floor and not let go.
