not for glory is a restless, relentless, rebellious unravelling of traditional dance and music. 

It is not a radical Highland dance show, not a reinvented Irish dance display, and not an experimental piping competition. It’s bodies, bagpipes, and brutality. It’s kilts, queerness, and ceremonial violence. It’s backbeats, high cuts, striking in — a battering, flinging skirl. 

not for glory resuscitates tradition with respect and resilience, dissecting heritage and dancing solidarity. It’s a dance-theatre gig that balances virtuosity with vulnerability, pride with shame. Three performers reclaim the traditions they grew up in — not for glory, but for what.
