Miss High Leg Kick – PALAIS DE DANSE
Miss High Leg Kick – PALAIS DE DANSE
This year sees the return of Oliver-winning live artist Francesca Baglione (aka, Miss High Leg Kick) with PALAIS DE DANSE, a multi-sensory flashback (with a modern ‘Twist’) to a night out in late 1950s British dance halls. The offbeat, interactive show with multi-generational appeal celebrates the collective excitement of teenage nights then and now. Supported by Certain Blacks.
PALAIS DE DANSE
Francesca Baglione (Miss High Leg Kick) is an established Olivier Award-winning live artist whose work uses collaboration and unusual approaches to audience engagement to create ambitious, accessible performances.
Large-scale outdoor works (e.g. Fashion Bus and Audition Project) and
interactive pieces (C’est Barbican / Duckie!, Bird Rave and Eau de Memoire) are marked by humour, a love of spectacle, dance and the celebration of the everyday.
She is an Associate Artist of Duckie.
