Shade

Step out of the SHADE and on to the dance floor.

A work in development by ThickSkin, supported by Oldham Coliseum. Part of Oldham Pride and Festival Oldham.

Shade brings together seven unique characters in search of their true selves. Choreographed by award-winning duo, Neil Bettles and Jonnie Riordan, with sound design by Pete Malkin, Shade will amplify and illuminate the value of difference.

A new show that explores moments of self-discovery and acceptance against the backdrop of contemporary queer culture. Expect cool moves, classic grooves and sassy shapes, for anyone who wants to get lost in music.

Join us at the party, step out of the shade and onto the dance floor.

A family event, suitable for all ages. Approx 25 minutes.

 

More dates coming soon…
