ARTISTIC POLICY R.I.P.E (Rees International Projects Enterprise) is a platform for solo and collaborative performance projects. It explores cultural and sexual identity in an inventive, idiosyncratic style; fusing movement work with narrative, voice, video, film, and visual design. Its innovative performances are known for flamboyant, humorous, and often extreme interpretations of history, culture, and personal experience.
REVIEW EXTRACTS An arresting and thrillingly sensual combination of dance, film and sound. The Guardian (Gloria Days) A superlative production that has to rank as one of the most persuasive and utterly magical pieces of contemporary dance for some time. The Western Mail (Gloria Days) This mesmerising and sensual dance is quite stunning. South Wales Echo (Gloria Days)
