Hail the New Puritan is a 1986 British fictionalized documentary about the Scottish dancer and choreographer Michael Clark.
Additional music is provided by Glenn Branca, Bruce Gilbert (of Wire), and Jeffrey Hinton.
Using a faux-cinéma vérité style, Atlas depicts a day in Clark's life as he and his company prepare for a performance of New Puritans (1984).
[2] The company at that time included Gaby Agis, Leslie Bryant, Matthew Hawkins, Julie Hood, and Ellen van Schuylenburch.
Clark visits Bowery, who along with his friends Trojan and Rachel, are "getting ready" (dressing up) for the clubs.
