PataFlaFla is a one-woman drum show spectacular exploring loss, friendship and sexuality through music and spoken word. The rushes and drags of teenage life get mixed up with the underground music scene in this queer female answer to Whiplash. PataFlaFla hands over the drumsticks to the womxn.
We are RUNT Theatre, a collective of female theatre-makers creating socially provocative work that champions complex and non-traditional heroes. We celebrate and encourage underrepresented groups. RUNT theatre was founded in 2020 from East 15’s acclaimed BA Acting and Contemporary Theatre course.
PataFlaFla was originally a short film for East 15's Launch festival, which then screened at Tramshed’s Digitally Charged festival. It is now a one-woman stage play and the writing has been mentored by multi-award winning playwright Kevin Dyer. We are planning 10 days of rehearsal of PataFlaFla to realise it in a theatrical setting before it’s debut performance.
