A quick note on BMT’s work in relation to Trestle by Helen

One can instantly compare Trestle's work to that of BMT. Firstly, both
are very physical in their performances and seek to present the
norm/dominant or stereotypical view in contrasting ways. This can be
seen in Trestle recreating a classic Indian Love Story in 'Little
India' and BMT in 'Total Rethink', exploring the Hollywood genre. Both
also appear to include songs and music. However, from what I have so
far researched, BMT seems to be that little bit more provocative in
exploring serious subjects such as: schizophrenia, alcohol abuse,
violence etc. In my opinion, Trestle has more of a structure (less
focused on themes) than BMT in telling the story of Lola Montez, the
infamous 19th century fake Spanish dancer. The fragmentation, so common
to BMT's style, is one of the key differences which sets the two
companies apart.
