RAP-ON-ZEL, JAXX DJ SPINDERELLA - THE BEST OF BRITISH?
At the closing ceremony at the Beijing Olympics, millions will be treated to the sight of hip hop hoodies representing British "national identity"
Alistair Spalding, director of Sadler’s Wells dance theatre, said the closing ceremony would include ‘humour and stories told with hiphop and street dance’. He said: ‘It is a positive choice and reflects an aspect of London that people don’t often think about – a multicultural city with a vibrant youth culture.’ ZooNation’s show Into the Hoods is a hiphop interpretation of Stephen Sondheim’s musical Into the Woods, transposed to a modern-day tower block. The plot revolves around DJ Spinderella, who loses a gold trainer at the hip-hop ball. Right, sounds rivetting.
Flying the flag, eh? Proud to show the world what Britain now means - nothing.
