About Dancing Bear:
“God is not male or female. God is not gay or straight.God is not a culture war”
Dancing Bear explores personal stories surrounding faith and sexuality, through dance, live music, drag performance and text.
Part-theatre, part-gig, with a heart full of furious compassion, candour and humour. Dancing Bear offers an unflinching provocation in addressing the often desperate balancing act many LGBTQ people continue to attempt between personal integrity, social & cultural acceptance and spiritual peace.
Conceived by director/musician Jamie Fletcher and writer/musician Beccy Owen, Dancing Bear features a multi-talented cast, and deftly swings between the bleak and the bawdy. At it’s heart is a question that is relevant to people of all backgrounds and beliefs: 'how and who should we love?'
