Fringe! shorts: Dance, Dance, Revolution!
  • London Fringe

Every moment spent on these real, cosmic, and imagined stages becomes a joyous, powerful and revolutionary way to express queer lives, our loves, our community, and our right to thrive.

All the Colours | dirs. Pippa Samaya and Tara Jade Samaya | Australia, Germany 2020 | 3'

Relationship goals done to perfection through movement in a non-dialogue mood board of simple moments. A rare glimpse of lockdown loveliness from The Samaya Wives.

queer faggy dance fun | dir. Harry Price | UK 2021 | 4

Feel what it's like to really dance outside of our bedrooms again in a celebration of queer collective joy from curators fraserfab, O.K Norris and Pierre who wrote and perform powerful spoken word - sound artist illyr - and dynamic light installation by Joshua Harriette.

A Love Letter to the Basement | dir. Sweatmother | UK 2021 | 6'

A delicious flavour of queer London nightlife through the lens of someone who had their life changed by the (now gone) underground DIY bar, cultural space and performance collective in South East London.

About Queens and Other Colours (De Reinas y Otros Colores) | dir. Juan H. Zuluaga | Guatemala 2020 |17

Five young men gather in an abandoned house to share their insights and dreams of being gay and a drag queen in a conservative country like Guatemala with heart, fire, and a flair for working with cable ties.

Bellydance Vogue | dir. Hadi Moussally | Lebanon 2020 | 6'

A beautifully retro VHS tribute to what it means to grow up and truly celebrate yourself, tapping into the freedom and joy of embodiment as a child, and challenging what we need in relationships with family.

Masisi Wouj | dir. Z Kielwagen, Marcos Serafim, Steevens Simeon | Haiti 2021 | 22'

Artist and activist Sanba Yonel creates a queer tribute to the Vodou gods and goddesses who once inspired a revolution in Haiti, where men perceived as feminine are known as masisi.

Fluidity | dir. Clyde Petersen | USA 2019 | 2

SassyBlack sings it true with this deep groove in adulation of fluid beings.

The Uninhabitable Ones (Inabitveis) | dir. Anderson Bardot | Brazil 2020 | 25'

This sensual dance film integrates depiction of gay passion, trans acceptance, legacy of slavery, and the urgency for an end to shame in Brazil through a masterful work of poetic wildness, transgressive queers, of impressionist colours, of bodies that celebrate their black and latinx existences.

Tom Aspaul - Black Country Disco: The Movie | dir. Sam Taylor-Edwards | UK 2020 | 9

A pop extravaganza visual love letter to the West Midlands, regional dancefloors, and finding love again.

CW: discussion of homophobia and transphobia

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Acting For Others
Acting for Others provides financial and emotional support to all theatre workers in times of need through the 14 member charities. During the COVID-19 crisis Acting for Others have raised over £1.7m to support theatre workers affected by the pandemic.
