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.
