Courtney Deyn with BULLYACHE

Tanz im August

Courtney Deyn is a British-Bajan, queer, working class choreographer, musician, teacher and director. He is half of the music duo and dance company BULLYACHE with Jacob Fairclough. They have been making interdisciplinary performance work since 2021.

BULLYACHE spans theatre, performance, dance, music, make up and film. They are “like a live music video crossed with avant-garde dance theatre – and utterly steeped in young queer British culture” (Guardian). They imagine themselves as Pina Bausch cosplaying as Dua Lipa in their parents’ make up.
