STRUT

“A working class area, turning off their TVs and tumbling out their flats and houses to see some dance. And some dance that was being performed by a group of their own. When it was freezing. As a community art piece, it was inspired and ultimately quite inspirational.” Fringe Review

STRUT is a night time outdoor performance parade that takes over the streets and features 5 local dancers who take turns to perform their own 2 min choreographies reflecting the celebratory energy of their much loved neighbourhoods whilst moving behind a sound system with a light and projections show -a live video of the show is also streamed on YouTube .
We welcome dancers from “any age/ any style” to apply through a free-to-enter open call, and a community panel pick the 5 selected artists who each get a £750 fee to perform in the show.

STRUT was performed 4 times in Glasgow, Paisley, Cumbernauld and Craigmillar - featuring dance styles such as Bhangra, Salsa, Romani, Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, Northern Soul, Contemporary, Highland, Waacking, Happy Hardcore… and looking forward to welcome more flavours as we deliver our 5-date Scottish tour in 2024 which will take place in Aberdeen, Cumbernauld, Greater Craigmillar, West Dunbartonshire and Inverclyde .

We also have a STRUT “KIDS” version of the show tailored to take place in schools.

STRUT is produced by Feral and supported by Creative Scotland
