Our new project
We Are Lesbian.
We Are Lesbian is a bold, joyful dance theatre show celebrating lesbian visibility, history and identity. Blending contemporary dance, cabaret, verbatim testimony and an original pop soundtrack, it brings real lesbian voices centre stage with humour, honesty and heart.
From the poetry of Sappho to modern pop culture, the work explores how lesbian lives have been represented, erased and reclaimed. Drawing on interviews with lesbians across generations, it weaves together stories of coming out, chosen family, belonging and resilience.
Energetic, moving and often hilarious, We Are Lesbian is both a celebration and a call to remember. A vibrant, high-voltage experience that asks whose stories get told and makes sure lesbian voices are heard.

“People are multi-layered, inconsistent and complicated. We strive to express the repercussions of this in our bodies.”
