Watch the trailer to find out more!
With generous scoops of her characteristic aloha, Stacy will share intimate stories that will move us into our hearts, that move into sacred rituals, that move into stupid games, that move into reclaiming our true selves, that move into some very awkward, uncool, “moves” known to some as dancing.
What happens when our curiosity becomes larger than our fears?
How do our hearts shift when we openly share our struggles?
What does playfulness have to do with ritual?
This unique performance welcomes you just as you are – especially the imperfect, messy, awkward, shy, ‘not good enough’ parts of you. You are welcome to take part as much or as little as you like, you can just observe, take breaks, exit and enter the space as you wish. It’s all allowed!
There will be a dedicated separate space with light refreshments available throughout the performance.
Stacy Makishi is a transplant from Hawaii who found paradise in Dalston, London in 1993. Like a bonsai plant, she is small but old, and has been making art and infecting folks with curiosity and creativity for over 40 years.
Part of Giddy Up, bringing daring performance from LGBTQ+ artists to the stages of Hastings - queer at heart, welcoming to all. View the full Giddy Up 2025 line up.
