Fly No Filter at Views from the Bridge

Views from the ‘Bridge is The Junction's seasonal mixed bill of work under development by members of our artist development network Troop. This spring the lineup includes:

Fly No Filter
Only When Its Feathers Are Grown is a slap in the face, a belly laugh, a missing cuddle. Through bboyin and photography, this interactive performance installation explores a modern day version of the ancient myth of The Descent. With original soundscape by hiphop artist Twiggz, the intertwining archives of an adolescent and her mother are exposed in a brave psychological unravelling. “In the worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned. Heaven sought order, but the phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.”

Fly No Filter dance theatre launched in 2015, to develop the touring work of hiphop arts organisation, SIN Cru. Under the artistic direction of writer-choreographer Lucy Crowe, the company makes work to capture, deconstruct moments, and test boundaries. To defy the concept of Impossible. Supported by Arts Council England, and developed at Sadlers Wells, Fly No Filter toured debut work, The Glorious throughout 2016 – 2018.
