LINEUP

🎧 DoyBoy is a DJ and performer who brings the sunshine. Expect  groovy sets you’d hear at a summer pool party: funky house, electronica and disco, laced with healthy splashes of pop. There’s also lots of references to Asian artists, particularly from his roots in The Philippines. His side project is recording relaxing DJ sets on YouTube, inspired by the cosy feelings and restorative properties of nichijou (slice of life) manga. He is also one of five members of The Dragon Boiz, an all-Asian male cabaret act.

🎭 Bri Leung is an interdisciplinary artist working across performance, writing, film, sculpture, dramaturgy and facilitation hoping to educate audiences as a practice of reclamation. She interrogates the discomforting truths and conflicts in diasporic and gendered histories through the exploration of art history, popular culture and interpersonal relationships. She has performed and exhibited at Barbican Centre, Pleasance Theatre, Hoxton Hall, Somerset House and Greatorex Street. 

💃 Duane Nasis (he/they) is a Filipino-British multidisciplinary movement artist working across cabaret and theatre to film, television and performance art. His practice includes a range of performance vocabularies from lucha libre wrestling to contemporary dance, from clowning to burlesque & striptease. He will be presenting a duet from an ongoing larger body of work, featuring fellow British-Filipino performance artist Max Percy - an award winning, multi-disciplinary Theatre Artist, Producer, and Co-Artistic Director of Papergang Theatre.
