Dance Marathon, Traverse @ Lyceum Rehearsal Room, Edinburgh
For the Depression-era hopefuls who competed in the original dance marathons " endurance charleston sessions with cash prizes at the end " there was a financial imperative to keep their feet moving for hours, even days, at a time. For an apprehensive Edinburgh Fringe audience in numbered bibs, it's all about the boasting rights, the immersive experience and doing the conga to "Murder on the Dance Floor".
