Southpaw Dance Company ; Men on a Mission

"He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man..."
(Samuel Johnson)
Beginning with the choreographer's idea of creating a piece that stylistically resembled, "Trainspotting... if Quentin Tarantino directed it," Men on a Mission was developed through the intense process of rehearsing and living under the same roof for 2 weeks, studying film and sharing experiences about the subject matter; Recreational drug use.
MOAM is an insight to the clique, couture culture associated with recreational drugs... an exploration of false confidence, frenzied highs, and steep declines into paranoia, where the internal sensations drawn from research and discussion are interpreted physically and externalised.
