not for glory
not for glory is a restless, relentless, rebellious unravelling of traditional dance and music. It is not a radical Highland Dance show, not a reinvented Irish dance display and not an experimental piping competition. It's bodies, bagpipes and brutality. It's kilts, queerness and ceremonial violence. It's back beats, high cuts, striking in, a battering, flinging skirl. not for glory resuscitates tradition with respect and resilience, dissects heritage and dances solidarity. It's a dance-theatre gig balancing virtuosity with vulnerability, pride with shame. Three performers reclaim the traditions they grew up in, not for glory – but for what?
