​One night only!

As a child, Dan lost a holiday camp dancing competition. This is his chance to right that wrong. It will be what he would have done had he known better, been a little braver, got the music choice he wanted. VENUS will be an opportunity for us all to win, if only for the duration of one song by an 80’s girl group.


Created and performed by Dan Watson

Set designed and created by Brian Archer 
Produced by Laura Sweeney

​Made possible with support from Arts Council England and The Place

With thanks to Putney Arts Theatre and Chisenhale Dance Space 

Part of the Rural Touring Dance Initiative, Menu 4, Autumn 2019 - Spring 2020

​But the brilliant shows didn’t stop there. We both have to agree that the performance of Venus from Dan Watson was a standout show for us. We loved the fun energy that immediately filled the audience as soon as Dan took to the stage. It was a struggle to stay in our seats and not get up and join the 80s Pontins dance competition recreation." ​
