QUANTUM Leap Ensembleâs latest dance work, at The Playhouse later in May, is looking at revolution.
In the opening section there will be music from Earth, Wind & Fire, The Doobie Brothers, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Monkeys and Sam & Dave, since the rock ânâ roll part of the equation is revolutionary in nature.
Artistic director of QL2 Dance, Ruth Osborne, and her collaborator, Steve Gow, believe that change and revolution are still of intrinsic interest to young people, no less now than back in the revolutionary years from 1966 to 1970.Â
Theyâve put together a dance piece, âREBEL: Then.Now.When?â looking at how culture and collective action can stimulate change.
