About This Event

Dance Base Festival presents *not for glory*, an evening of dance and music that reimagines traditional Scottish and Irish forms with a contemporary edge. The performance weaves together bagpipes, percussion, and movement, drawing on Highland dance, Irish step, and ceremonial styles to create something entirely fresh. Taking place on Tuesday 11 August 2026 at Dance Base in Edinburgh, the event begins at 7.45pm and features a diverse ensemble of performers. The production delves into themes of queerness, violence, and ritual, offering a sound and visual landscape that is both percussive and theatrical. With a bold, unapologetic energy, it challenges and reworks familiar traditions into a visceral, modern experience. Ticket prices are available on the venue's website.
