As incredible as the Fringe Festival is, there is no denying that it can be a pricey experience.
Whilst there are hundreds of free shows to see, you can’t avoid the expenses of travel, dining and the pay-what-you-think boxes at the end of some shows. However, people splash the cash because the Fringe brings an array of new and abstract performances that are not on offer anywhere else – or so people might think.
Coming to Glasgow at the end of August is a brilliant performance that will save you from trekking to Edinburgh. Theatre-makers Cairan McLaggan and Martha Haskins have co-produced an innovative theatre experience which he will be hosting at Nice n Sleazy on August 28th/29th. It is based around the theme “but when we’re dancing” and involves only one audience member at a time. Both Cairan and Martha will play an active role throughout the performances, offering a unique experience for every person.
“In a way, I think we’re trying to conjure something really universal. We recognise that not everyone would call themselves a dancer, we wouldn’t, but there is an intrinsic relationship that we have to music. Dance is in our DNA. We want to create a space and an encounter where that can bubble to the surface and be celebrated. There’s a feeling of liberation in completely losing yourself with a stranger.”
This experience is restricted to just 15 performances per night, so people are encouraged to book in advance via the Facebook event. There are various times available between 5.30pm and 10.10pm each night.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
