RIG: (dance pole / guitar & pedals)
BADASS GRAMMAR is a theatrical collaboration between a pole dancer and a guitarist, a composition in exploded view. With a mischievous agenda, the performance invites in the mucky subjects of shame, power & privilege. And takes them dancing. Peering in at the nuts and bolts, the muscle and bone. We draw on the invisible histories of our disciplines, spinning art & language to build a new one, like the back of a live album from another universe. From award-winning theatre-maker & guitarist Keir Cooper & writer, theatre-maker & Miss Pole Dance UK finalist Rose Biggin. Featuring a bespoke performance from Penny Arcade. Made & Performed by Rose & Keir Lighting : Ben Wallace Original music by Keir Cooper Except Coda by Eleanor Sikorski Ula performed by Penny Arcade Rae performed by Patricia Rodriguez
