ABSTRACT
In the theatre with Divas we are in a country of others. Aggiss and Cowie are smash and grab artists, eclectically borrowing from a range of different dance and performance styles and making them into their own inimitable blended form. Quoting ballet, bondage and bolero, and incorporating elements of cabaret, opera and dance theatre, their works are inherently cross-genre. Unclassifiable, dodging categorization and the taxonomies of sameness through their raids on a host of languages and media, their work exists within a range of locations. On stage and on screen they blur genres and the boundaries between high art and popular culture.
