Performance “Cog in the Wheel”
Venue: Algiers Opera House at 6:30 pm
Cog in the wheel is a street dance performance conceptualised by self-taught dancer, and teacher Billy Read. The piece is choreographed & performed by Def Motion, a mixture of deaf and hearing dancers. This is a work in progress, designed to tour outdoor festivals and events.
Cog in the Wheel explores themes of living in a capitalist society, the rise of communication technology and our perceived self-worth. The dancers are not characters with stories and personalities but are gears in a machine. They are a means to creating a product that can generate revenue.
Performers: Warren Hugh Murray, Kameel Adam Williams-Myrie, Ben Craig Randall and the lead artist Billy Read.
Performers : Jason Michael Drew Read, Rachael Tamon Veazey, Warren Hugh Murray, Kameel Adam Williams-Myrie and Ben Craig Randall
