‘Dance, Punk and Other Threats’ is part poetry, part rave, part journey through mental health, grief, and self-love; it invites the audience to enjoy however they wish: sitting, listening, or dancing their hearts out.

RJ Hunter is an award-winning writer, theatre-maker, and performance poet based in Scotland.
