About We Made a Mess!
British dance phenomenon Botis Seva creates uncompromising dance art. Fusing hip-hop, breakdance, physical theatre and contemporary movement into an expression entirely his own, his works are both brutal and deeply moving, driven by pounding rhythms and heartfelt intensity. We Made a Mess! is, Botis Seva says, inspired by the politics of the school playground.
