Wig Waltz

Wig Waltz is a pop-up dance performance featuring two high-society Georgian-era aristocrats preparing for an exquisite ball. Dressed in extravagant wigs and ornate costumes, they move with elegance and sophistication but all is not as it seems.

As the performance unfolds, their appearances begin to shift. Costumes unravel, identities dismantle and the perfect façade begins to fall away. What starts as a display of refinement turns into a disruption of tradition, challenging expectations around gender, class and identity. WIG WALTZ invites audiences to reflect on the societal roles we’re told to play and celebrates the beauty of embracing who we truly are with humour, movement and lots of wig drama!


Wig Waltz is by Minnie Crook and Dan Brown, originally a commission by Imaginate for the Creative Encounters project with Forthview Primary.
