FootBallistic - It'll Be A Riot!
Fight Choreography by Allan Henry
Stories by Dean Hewison, Ben Powdrell & Allan Henry
The dying minutes of a football game. No goals scored. The crowd on its feet. You could cut the tension with a knife… Or a broken bottle, like the one you're holding in your fist…
Out of Bounds, the team behind Fringe 07’s smash hit Brain Power brings you FootBallistic - a stage combat epic set during a football riot and cleverly smuggled into the Dance Your Socks Off Festival to satisfy your dance-bloodlust.
Featuring elaborate ‘dance’ sequences such as an angry mob of fans taking on a referee and a mascot, the catfight to end all catfights, the emotional struggle of a guy fighting his way through several louts without spilling his beers, and the frustrated first-aid workers who reach breaking point and kick some hooligan ass.
FootBallistic is an hour of choreographed madness like nothing you've ever seen, featuring fight choreography by experienced Stage Combat tutor Allan Henry (Othello, The Henchman) and the live sound effects and musical styling’s of Emile de la Rey (A Bright Room Called Day).
