FESTIVAL FRINGE @ THE DRILL HALL

In a first-time-ever partnership with Dance Base, the Out of the Blue Drill Hall is opening up its doors this August under the fairly self-explanatory title of Dance Base @ Out of the Blue. Dance Base, Scotland's National Centre for Dance, is located in the Grassmarket in central Edinburgh and is already a well-established Fringe venue. It is expanding operations this year to fill two whole venues with exceptional dance shows.

RAW
Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Theatre
9pm on 14^th-16^th, 18^th-23^rd, 25^th-27^th August and 2pm on 15^th-16^th, 22^nd-23^rd August
£12 (£10)

RAW mixes contemporary dance and aerial skills using ropes, harnesses and poles. In a hot and sexy club-land, the DJ slips into a shamanic counterpart that is taken over by the group, providing a deep communication that has unexpected effects on everyone. They slide into an inner, darker world where the mind exerts its own dynamic over the dancers and their relationships. Is it a fun loving club or are we in a social prison? Why do we go out? Is it to transcend our ordinary lives, to go beyond ourselves, to forget the rules and to fly without ropes

ME (Mobile/Evolution)
Claire Cunningham in association with Jess Curtis/Gravity

7.15pm on 14^th-16^th, 19^th-23^rd, 26^th-27^th August
£10 (£8)

Double bill from award-winning dancer/choreographer Claire Cunningham showcasing her exceptional technique, impressive power and wonderfully direct Scottish humour. From the quiet, sculptural Mobile, combining dance, text and aerial work, to the uplifting beauty of Evolution.

Claire started aerial training in 2004, her particular interest in this field stemming from a desire to utilise the upper body strength created by having used crutches for the last 14 years, to investigate her ability for free movement when uninhibited by the disabling factor of weightbearing.
