​
this is a runway.
these people are models.
 
they are modelling
their personal histories,
complex stories of
 
hope
passion
joy
anger
(be)longing
 
and by doing so, they are also modelling
our collective futures.
 
watch closely.

a portrait of the young person navigating otherness. runAway is an urgent act of autobiography, centering on six young people living in glasgow. devising across performance subcultures from ballroom vogue to karaoke, this original work sheds light on marginalisation and the politics of difference.​
