Feel Britannia: Edward Pearce
SERIES: We ask dancer Edward Pearce "What makes you feel emotional about Britain?"
Feel Britannia: Edward Pearce
With all the rhetoric and Big Ideas surrounding the general election, Culture Whisper wanted to collect some of the little things that spark emotions about Britain.
In anticipation of May 7, we asked our favourite figures in the arts to tell us what makes Britain feel like home.
What loosens your stiff upper lip, brings a tear to your eye and stirs your Britishness?
Edward Pearce, BalletBoyz dancer:
"Benjamin Zephaniah’s 'The British Poem'. It likens all the nationalities in England to ingredients in a pot. We take for granted how truly free we are in this country and how equality is not only expected but fought for."
Edward Pearce is a member of Balletboyz: TheTALENT and has danced with Rambert Dance Company and the Royal Ballet.
