Billy the mime artist ?

Post by Real Geordie »

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an example of this before. BETM is of course normally performed by theatre groups, but less often by dance groups who give their own "dance only" interpretation of selected scenes. What Dansschool Kreadance DiVa of Belgium have done is take the London cast voice and music recording, and largely followed the original dance sequences of Solidarity. They simply mime the words. Their strength is dance, and that is what they concentrate on with many dancers and a large stage. It works, to my mind, really well.
