A NIGHT WITH THICK & TIGHT
This rapturous triple bill brings famous faces to life to reveal the yearnings and imperfections of human nature.
Queen Victoria & Miss Havisham mourn their losses in a monstrous modernist ballet, Queen Have & Miss Haven’t; Marilyn Monroe and Princess Diana are dogged by fame and beauty in The Princess & the Showgirl and dancer Julie Cunningham (ex-Michael Clark and Merce Cunningham companies) becomes artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore in Thick & Tight's solo, Radical Daughters.
With thanks to our supporters: Arts Council England, South East Dance, Dance West, The Place and Corali Dance Company.
A NIGHT WITH THICK & TIGHT was presented at Sadler's Wells as part of the London International Mime Festival 2019 and at the Brighton Fringe 2018, winning 2 awards:
-
The Space to Dance Award from South East Dance
-
The Brighton Fringe International Touring Bursary in association with The Pebble Trust.
