OUT

OUT

“A powerfully eloquent danced dialogue… performed with both calm reserve and concentrated intensity.” — The Stage ★★★★

Defiantly challenging homophobia and transphobia, OUT is a duet—a conversation between two bodies, carving out a new kind of space, reclaiming Dancehall and celebrating Vogue culture amongst the bittersweet scent of oranges.

“We’re shape-shifting in a bid to fit in; to be black enough, straight enough, Jamaican enough…”

Embracing personal, political and cultural dissonance, this act of interdisciplinary self-expression smashes through normativity, summoning voices and re-enacting movements in an exhilarating mash-up of remembrance and re-invention.

OUT has toured to PuSh International Performing Arts Festival in Vancouver, Rhubarb Festival in Toronto, CAMPO Arts Centre in Gent, Cambridge Junction, Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts in Brighton, Sadler’s Wells in London and Home Live Art in Hastings.

Supported by Cambridge Junction, Sadler’s Wells, Arts Council England, The Marlborough Theatre, The Yard Theatre, IBT, Leicester Curve, South East Dance and Greenwich University.
