Dance at the Bristol Harbour Festival

PART THREE TrashDollys Dance Theatre performing Cape Alley at Bristol Harbour Festival. A spaghetti western dance of death, with evident knowledge of and affection for Sergio Leone choreography. The man with the harmonica waits in the wings and a tyrannical director appears from time to time like a demi-god directing the fates of his creations through his gleaming brass megaphone. But will they reject his direction and turn on him, drawing him into the dance? I absolutely loved TrashDollys at the festival last year when they were a duo. Now an enhanced quartet, they were even better this year. These boys are good - real good.
Leone's death choreography
The director and the man with harmonica wait in the wings
The director casts his shadow
Rejecting direction. Wrestling god
The killing blow
The man with the harmonica joins the fray
Pendulum dance. 60 seconds to...what?
Passing on the harmonica
Obey me! Showdown on set
Superb. Well done chaps
