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.
What loosens your stiff upper lip, brings a tear to your eye and stirs your Britishness?
Edward Pearce, BalletBoyz dancer:
Edward Pearce is a member of Balletboyz: TheTALENT and has danced with Rambert Dance Company and the Royal Ballet.
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?
