PERFORMANCES BY:
Cruising: A Queer Tango
Rae and Lysander started learning Ballroom & Latin dancing in 2015 with Rachel Sparks Dance. They both found they had a mutual love and desire for Ballroom Tango so began creating a queer piece of dance with Rachel Sparks, 'Cruising, A Queer Tango'. This premiered at the popular event Strictly Queer Dancing in 2016 and since then the duo have been asked to perform at various spaces in London including RVT, Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, Look Back In Pride and the Lost Theatre. They continue to learn Ballroom and Latin and hope to create more queer work in the future.

Ray
Ray is a performer, musician and writer whose work explores desire around the queer/trans body, genderfuck drag, kink, anarchism and punk - through live art, spoken word and strip-tease. Their solo show Non-Binary Electro Hour is on on September 21st at the Camden People's Theatre, as part of the Come As You Are festival.

Danny Polaris
Singer/Songwriter Danny Polaris is a jazz, soul and house vocalist, top-line writer and one half of electropop project, Draco Draco. He's also an actor specialising in immersive characters for events, parties and festivals.

Marikiscrycrycry
I’m Malik
I perform under the alias Marikiscrycrycry
Three cries like three cheers
three cheers for the #sad #carefree #gay boys
I live in London
I was born in the suburbs of New York City
Its where immigrants go to erase their trauma
My family is from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
My choreography is about many things and occupies varying kinds of spaces, from the gallery to the internet contexts. Some things I’m interested are: queerness x blackness x gayness, dissents against nationalism, the allostatic load, imprints of physical and visual experiences on the body, off-kilter organisation, psycho-somatic states, the deep dark web, violence and desire amongst many other things. I have a small studio called ian’s RESEARCH BODEGA and am currently an Associate Artist at Hackney Showroom in Dalston.

SOUND BY:
DJ Dae
Dj Dae is a Black Queer gender bending Pisces hailing from South East London by way of Nigeria & Cameroon. Being of West African heritage, AfroBeats and Afropop were always going to be at the forefront of the genres of music they play & being able to blend that with her love of hip hop, RnB & Soul creates sounds people have no choice but to dance to. When in doubt look for them on the dance floor ;)

DJ Stathis
Creative director and resident party starter at DISCOSÓDOMA, Stathis has become one of the most eclectic music selectors in London’s queer nightlife and beyond. He’s played alongside Red Axes, Marvin & Guy, Tornado Wallace, Paramida, Jennifer Cardini, Man Power, Justin VanDerVolgen and Mehmet Aslan to name a few. A staple in Glastonbury’s NYC Downlow, where he’s been returning for the past three years, his most recent collaboration includes A Threesome on ACiD, a party project among DISCOSÓDOMA, Discodromo with their Berlin-based Cocktail d’Amore and Athenian legends, Amateurboyz.
