A rip-roaring music parade from Paraorchestra.
SMOOSH! brings a high-energy wind and brass band and a troupe of dancers to the streets of Brighton this May for an on-the-move performance of pop-karaoke classics – think Fatboy Slim, meets Kate Bush, meets Basement Jaxx.
A core of Paraorchestra musicians, up to 50 local players plus an array of professional and community dancers will form a mobile human jukebox, inviting you out onto the street to dance and sing along in a magnificent, cacophonous, communal karaoke – a ‘massaoke’!
Bristol-based Paraorchestra create large scale and dynamic music experiences, blending art forms and technology to create innovative and accessible ways of experiencing orchestral music. They previously visited Brighton Festival with The Nature of Why in 2019.
SMOOSH! has been made possible with funding from The Linbury Trust, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, The Foyle Foundation, and the Cultural Recovery Fund.
