About HOT in Her/e at Mighty Hoopla

A sneak preview of SAY's brand new work HOT in Her/e as part of Mighty Hoopla Festival!

Female and non-binary performers get down and dirty executing slick dance phrases to banging hiphop and smooth R&B grooves! Embodying hotness in a way that is usually associated with masculinity; this ten minute duet will fulfil your 90s boyband fantasies and leave you feeling hot under your collar.

About SAY

SAY was founded by Sarah Golding and Yukiko Masui in 2019, their work challenges the elitism often associated with contemporary dance. As a duo they have created a dance film SAY: AF with the international festival Dance Umbrella, have recently been featured dancers in The Marvels and were dance captains and performers in the Commonwealth Opening Ceremony 2022.

SAY was commissioned to create a piece for NDCWales, SAY Something, which toured nationally and internationally. SAY have recently worked on The Effect at the National Theatre and The Shed, NY and Romeo & Juliet starring Tom Holland, directed by Jamie Lloyd at Duke of York’s Theatre as Movement Directors. Co-produced by The Place, they toured their first show the album nationally and internationally, and are now developing their latest piece HOT in Her/e.
