ARTISTIC POLICY
Duckie produces Event Culture: audience interactive performance shows that blur the boundaries between theatre, nightclubs and new mode pop, and arty show business.
Duckie are ‘purveyors of progressive working-class entertainment’, who mix live art and light entertainment. They fuse arthouse and experimental theatre practice with popular entertainment forms to create accessible and challenging performance events.
Defining the post-gay movement, Duckie provides a creative forum for alternative gay and lesbian performance and culture.
