Exposed: From Clubs to Open Air

This solo performance explores the power of self-expression in public spaces, using whacking to reclaim space and demand visibility. Punking, later commonly adapted and referred to as “whacking”, is a style that emerged in the 1970s underground clubs in LA. It is distinctive through the attitude/behaviour, posing and striking with force (whacking).

Inspired by the queer history of whacking as a form of self-liberation, freedom of oppression, this piece transforms the urban or rural setting into a stage where dance becomes a voice for resilience, joy, and pride.

This show is part of a Four Nations Bursary Programme supporting artists to create new outdoor work.

Saturday & Sunday 1:15pm–1:35pm & 4:45pm–5:05pm | Garth St or Wilson St Corner
