“The piece I am working on is an improvised score. I am working on Soul/R&B/Funk music and how to find the groove and the story as it relates my experiences living in my body. These scores have no distinct story or outcome. It is about the music, the body and spirit.”⁠

Choreographed and Performed by Dani Tirrell
Song: Say So by PJ Morton and JoJo⁠

In a hazy room filled with technicolor lights, steamy locker room memories of folding ratty, wet towels and snapping them at one another, fill your mind as two men leap and twirl; they are each other’s complete, sweaty package.

Drama Tops; Two sweaty queers here to make you cry. Drama Tops was born with the artistic partnership of Elby Brosch and Shane Donohue. They began making work together four years ago with the creation of a solo on two bodies. The dynamic between their trans body and cis body has created beautiful moments of frustration, competition, tenderness, and comedy. Drama Tops blends the worlds of nightlife and concert modern dance to create an interesting and unique blend of accessible, funny modern dance. You may have seen the Drama Tops perform in their self produced show, Drama Tops, this is for you, at Washington Hall, at On the Boards in Northwest New Works, at Velocity in Fall Kick Off, at Kremwerk in Family Meal and Catharsis, in Heels! At Cha Cha, and at a pop up party at Photon Factory.
