5 SOLDIERS was originally created in 2010 as a full-length dance production based on in depth research with the British military, and was co-commissioned by International Dance Festival Birmingham and Warwick Arts Centre. Highly praised by current and former members of the British Military 5 SOLDIERS is a timely, controversial and thought-provoking exploration of war in modern times. Featuring Rosie Kay's trademark intense physicality and athleticism, 5 SOLDIERS weaves a journey of physical transformation helping us understand how soldiers are made and how war affects them and the injury caused.
