In the Blood, the latest work by Restless Dance Company is a vivid portrayal of the nightmare birthday party…..… an honest, deeply felt work that beautifully captures the painful, often ambivalent relationship between parents and their disabled children.

In the Blood realised a beautiful chemistry between the elements of production, creating an ideal complement to the honest and courageous ability of the performers to lay their often painful experiences bare.

The piece moves effortlessly between group sequences, partnering and solos. The performers seem deeply engaged in the pleasure and process of moving…. There is something in this work about reclaiming the desire to be playful and special. There is something also about pleasure and defiance in the struggle against interference and control by others.
