The Disco Disco Project

The Disco Disco Project Performance project by emerging dance artists Hannah McBrien and Rachel Gildea. Supported by Coventry Universities school of art and design.

The Disco Disco Project has been supported through Coventry Universities School of Art and Design with the Creative Futures 'Graduate fund'.

‘The Disco Disco Project’ is our new performance project. It is based on our experiences of competitive freestyle disco dancing, which we both trained in for many years. The work is a loving critique of the pleasure and the pain of that world. It aims to ex

plore, challenge, and highlight many of the questions we have around the dancing body and the female form, making a wider reference to female youth culture and the ‘body beautiful’ obsession. "Disco Disco invites us to lovingly laugh at ourselves and the absurdities that arise when performers compete for the limelight. Watching it I recognized many of my childish experiences of performing and stopped to ask myself just how much changes as we grow up? Humorous, insightful and poignant - looking forward to more!" Jess Murray, MotionFlow.
