Natural Behaviour | Live Like A Local

🦋 Natural Behaviour: Weird, Wonderful & Wonderfully Queer

What happens when dance, comedy, poetry, impersonation and a little bit of chaos collide? Natural Behaviour!

Get ready for a hilarious, unexpected and brilliantly queer performance from Thick & Tight that takes a playful look at one big question: what actually counts as “natural” — and who gets to decide?

Part dance show, part variety spectacular, part biology lesson that has completely gone off the rails, Natural Behaviour takes you on a wonderfully strange journey featuring two moths, a pantomime horse, the dust in Quentin Crisp’s room, some flies on the wall and… a lesbian seagull. 🦋🐴🪰🌈

Expect bold performances, sharp satire, poetry, hilarious impersonations and plenty of moments that will make you laugh, think and question what you thought you knew about “natural” behaviour.

Fresh from winning the Achievement in Dance award at the UK Theatre Awards 2025and being named The Guardian’s No. 1 Dance Show of 2025, this is a performance that has already been turning heads.

Performed by Thick & Tight co-directors Daniel Hay-Gordon and El Perry, alongside an incredible ensemble of dance artists, Natural Behaviour is quirky, clever, unapologetically queer and definitely not your average night at the theatre.

Come for the dance. Stay for the lesbian seagull. 🐦🌈
