"Contemporary dance’s fundamental problem has always been its’ complete lack of appeal to a wide ranging general audience. It has become almost impossible for Article19 to defend dance from its’ detractors because we know only too well that if we direct joe-public towards any randomly selected contemporary show there is a 99% chance they will come out laughing at us and hating us in equal measure for subjecting them to seventy minutes of witless “pure movement” performed to a soundtrack of Nepalese Throat Warbling and a badly written monologue where the choreographer compares himself to Buddha when in reality he’s just some bloke getting money from the Arts Council."
