If you're still in need of a big fix of interpretive dance, why not check out art punk legends The Fall and contemporary dance group Michael Clark & Company's avant-garde ballet' "I am curious, Orange". Apparently it's loosely based on the ascension of William of Orange to the throne. The key word is loosely, as you'll see in the included clip which features giant baked beans cans running across the stage. "Are you growing out of trying to shock people?" asks an interviewer at the end of the video, and we don't hear Mark E. Smith's reply. One can only assume he said no.

Punks and Plimsolls
Happy Plimsoll day! But please, for the love of God, don't celebrate by performing you're own interpretative dance ballet. Partly because the day is actually in memory of Samuel Plimsoll who invented the Plimsoll Line which is a series of markings painted onto cargo ships to prevent overloading, but more significantly because interpretive dance is an art form best left to the experts.
