Blushed is a big mix of storytelling, tap dance, silliness and humour, loosely based on the Red Shoes. The tap acts to bring life, music and at times tenuous links.
In turns anarchic, wonderful and wonky, these stories explore dated ideals through the eyes of modern-day adulthood.

Loosely inspired by The Red Shoes: a compendium of bonkers and brilliant adult fairytales told through tap dance. In turns anarchic, wonderful and wonky, these stories explore dated ideals through the eyes of modern-day adulthood.
Performed at Edinburgh Fringe at Gilded Balloon, Vault Festival, London, Brighton Fringe Festival with Otherplace Productions, Morley College, London and Arts at the Old Fire station, Oxford.
With guest direction from Award-winning performer/theater maker, Pita Lily.
Sole Rebel have created a tap dancing show that has a charm and character in its quirky jokes and stories performed by two sassy women. The Tap work is musically and technically challenging and riveting to watch and hear.
