Thick & Tight - Natural Behaviour
After last year’s award-winning tour of Tits & Teeth, Thick & Tight present a brand new variety show Natural Behaviour, a collection of performed portraits of human and non-human life forms.
Natural Behaviour will explore queer ecology, exposing how the natural world is weaponised against marginalised people to create exclusionary binaries of ‘natural’ or ‘unnatural’ lives and behaviours.
Outrageous, beautiful, hilarious and profound, Natural Behaviour is a queer look at what it means to be natural or unnatural within ecology and society.
Thick & Tight’s distinctive mix of extraordinary dance, satire, impersonation, drag and writing will bring to life a tyrannical leopard, post-apocalyptic cockroaches, two moths in moonlight, a lamenting songbird and a lesbian seagull… and that’s just for starters!
Susan Sonntag famously wrote: “Nothing in nature can be campy” – we beg to differ!

Thick & Tight - Tits & Teeth
A Night with Thick & Tight
Thick & Tight present three performed portraits of famous and infamous people, brought back to life for one last dance. These works are all solos, choreographed for three of UK’s most celebrated performers.
Connor Scott is Sid Vicious, Sex Pistols bassist and punk pin-up on stage, Harry Alexander is Andy Warhol, in a Pop Art extravaganza showing the boldness, oddness and wit of the American cultural icon, Edd Arnold is Marlene Dietrich, in a loud and brash punk solo depicting the beautiful, radical and complex Weimar/Hollywood legend.
Refined and virtuosic dance technique meets lip-syncing and cabaret, to entertain, energize and thrill.
Thick & Tight is a queer dance theatre company established in 2012 by Daniel Hay-Gordon and Eleanor Perry. They present their work at various venues including Sadler's Wells and Barbican as part of London International Mime Festival, Lowry, Southbank, Royal Opera House, Aldeburgh Music Festival, Tate, Kings Place and Wilton's Music Hall, and in queer nightlife venues.
