DISCO NATION is a body of outdoor and public space queer performance work from Fatt Projects, with the aim of transforming the nation through the power of queer joy, drag, & disco.
There are three offers under the DISCO NATION umbrella, each specifically designed to cater to different locations, audiences, budgets and scales of presentation:
BIG GAY DISCO BIKE – a small scale mobile disco performed on a bike.
DISCO TEA PARTY – an interactive cabaret gameshow, with audiences sat at tables and competing in disco themed games, sharing tea and cake, and ending in social disco dancing.
THE DISCO NATION – a large scale public space silent disco for up to 200 people at any time.
Suitable for all ages, get your dancing shoes on and step into the disco nation on your own doorstep – because anywhere can be a dancefloor, babes!
About Fatt Projects
Fatt Projects is a midlands based queer performance company dedicated to creating socially engaged projects, which use performance in diverse contexts to think about queerness, community, fatness, care, & making change.
We create ‘full-fat’ projects with a distinctly queer aesthetic, which are just as likely to take place in public spaces and contexts where queer identities and politics are underrepresented as it is in a conventional theatre space.
We are interested in asking questions, art that celebrates, and making spaces that empower people.
