Leeds based dance theatre duo ACCA present their much anticipated first full length show: Occupational Hazard.

 

Meet Becky and Linda, ACCAirways’ creme de la creme. Fusing comedy, clowning and cabaret, Occupational Hazard is an easy takeoff and a bumpy landing into the world of navigating consent as a female in the service industry. Expect high energy dancing to questionable robot impressions with ACCA’s iconic flair for playfulness. You’re in safe hands when you fly with Becky and Linda, so sit back, relax, and let them lull you into a false sense of security. Boarding passes at the ready, this flight is about to take off.

 

“Very funny!”

“Absolutely loved the pace, change of dynamics and characterisation. Very entertaining, I would love to see more of this piece”

TRIGGER WARNING:

The show deals with the themes of sexual consent and navigating sexism including the representation of sexual assault which individuals may find triggering.
