Somewhere between a variety show and a biology essay come alive, Natural Behaviour is a queer look at what it means to be natural or unnatural, highlighting the essential role of diversity in all life. Thick & Tight’s distinctive mixture of dance, satire, impersonation and poetry aims for the outrageous, the beautiful, the hilarious and the profound. The line-up includes two moths, a pantomime horse, the dust in Quentin Crisp’s room, some flies on the wall, a lamenting songbird, a blade of grass and a lesbian seagull. There are nine performances in total: • The One Horseman of the Apocalypse • Ode to the Last Nightingale • Creeping Bent • Lesbian Seagull • Two Moths in Real Time • Brahms’ Second Piano Concerto in Recollection of Others • Baldwin’s Room • Flies on the Spaceship Wall • Dust Thick & Tight’s co-directors Daniel Hay-Gordon and El Perry are joined by a cast of remarkable dance artists; Annie Edwards (Candoco), Azara Meghie (Ray Young, Talawa) and Jahmarley Bachelor (Punchdrunk). Natural Behaviour is designed by Tim Spooner, Pam Tait, Darren Evans and Nao Nagai. Natural Behaviour was awarded Achievement in Dance at the UK Theatre Awards 2025 and ranked No.1 Best Dance Show in the Guardian for 2025.
