Ray Young - OUT

An award-winning duet that defiantly challenges homophobia and transphobia.


Defiantly challenging homophobia and transphobia across our communities, OUT is a duet – a conversation between two bodies, which bravely carves out a new kind of space, reclaiming Dancehall and celebrating queerness amongst the bittersweet scent of oranges.

Winner of the 2017 South East Dance A Place to Dance Brighton Fringe Award and nominated for the 2017 Total Theatre & The Place Award for Dance.

An interdisciplinary performance inspired by ongoing global struggles for LGBTQIA+ rights, OUT is a defiant challenge to the status quo. Bravely embracing personal, political and cultural dissonance, this work smashes through our violent colonial histories to reimagine, reclaim and celebrate our delicious queer future.

Three performers in winter clothing are gathered around a table. One holds a flashlight, a car air freshener and a thermos flask, another holds up a cup, and the third operates a steering wheel. Two of the performers are holding windscreen wipers and moving them in tandem to imitate driving in bad weather.
