We should take a moment to acknowledge the land on which we are gathered. For thousands of years, this land has been the home of Patwin people. Today, there are three federally recognized Patwin tribes: Cachil DeHe Band of Wintun Indians of the Colusa Indian Community, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation, and Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. The Patwin people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries. It has been cherished and protected, as elders have instructed the young through generations. We are honored and grateful to be here today on their traditional lands. https://diversity.ucdavis.edu

I
’m extremely thrilled to be presenting 5 SOLDIERS for its 10th Anniversary Tour in the U.K. and U.S.
The show has grown and developed over the past years, since its original premiere in 2010. While the wars with such direct engagement as Iraq and Afghanistan have ended, the show still resonates with a universal message about the training and preparation for war, and the physical and mental effects of war that last long into the future. The show’s subtitle is still as apt as ever— the body truly is the frontline, in past, present and future wars. 5 SOLDIERS has developed over the past decade with some sections re-worked choreographically to bring out the individuality of the characters more deeply however the overall structure remains unchanged. The work follows the following pattern: Part One: Drill—made up of marching, repetition and complex drill patterns that demand huge concentration and discipline; Part Two: Hurry Up and Wait— explores games, play, larking about and darker aspects of relationships, humiliation and sexual tensions; Part Three: Contact, Wait Out—transports us to an enemy terrain, the enemy unseen, the threat ever present; Part Four: Rehab— puts injury into sharp focus; the risk of this job is clearly demonstrated.
Authenticity and integrity are woven through this work; not only did I train with The 4th Battalion, The Rifles, I also secured secondments to Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre Headley Court and the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine. The cast have also all spent time training with the army. This integrity also includes my independence and freedom to portray the army in my own artistic way. The army in no way has influenced the content of this show, and I hope that this shines through. We look at the good, the bad and the ugly, as well as celebrating strength, teamwork and leadership. I’d like to thank everyone who has supported us in helping us research, maintain and produce 5 SOLDIERS—the British Army, the promoters and venues, the funders and sponsors, all the talented dancers who have been part of this show, and particularly the board of (Rosie Kay Dance Company (RKDC) who are committed to seeing the company grow in the U.K. and abroad. We hope you enjoy the show, and do please join us for the post show talk with myself and the cast. —Rosie Kay, February 2020
