ABOUT
Love art, love being entertained, love roller disco? Peepshow CT Roller Disco brings you all of this with Cape Town’s first monthly Roller Disco in conjunction with Skaatstad and Peepshow CT.
You might have seen roller disco in the movies, experienced it at AfrikaBurn with Skaatstad Roller Disco, or perhaps you’re from a generation when roller disco was de rigeur? Maybe you’d just like to satisfy your evil streak and come watch and laugh at your friends falling down on skates.
Or perhaps you’re the one they can’t tear off the dance floor, where you’re always to be found singing breathlessly along to cheesy pop music, Michael Jackson and the best of the 90s?
If any of the above sounds like you, scroll down and book your tickets immediately.
Because this winter, it’s time to leave your house and get your happy endorphins pumping.
Grab your dusty skates or blades from your garage and head on down to our roller disco/performance art event, which aims to showcase and empower artists while having the most fun it’s possible to have.
COST: R50 entrance and R20 for half an hour and R40 for an hour skate hire.
Tickets are limited and will be released shortly.
Important points to note:
Due to the start-up nature of this event we will only have a limited stock of skates to hire out on the evening on and will run on a first come first served basis. We cannot guarantee your size or skates, so please bring your own if you have or come early.
The more interest in the disco and skating- the more skates we will be able to get for the next roller disco and ultimately raise funds and skates for Skaatstad at Afrikaburn.
While we will make every effort to ensure safety with a dedicated safety officer, we hold no responsibility for any injuries sustained at the disco.
Seriously, you’re still reading this? Okay well let’s tell you what this initiative is all about.
Peepshow CT Roller Disco is an original, local, monthly roller disco and performance art event where guests are invited to learn about skating, play with friends, show off their disco moves and help us develop an appreciation for the roller-skating scene and roller derby in Cape Town. We also aim to empower artists by showcasing their work at each event, inspiring and developing people’s skills and talents through social skating and creating artistic and creative networks for meaningful connections.
And if you were lucky enough to go to AfrikaBurn 2015 and disco’d with us at our roller disco rink Skaatstad, you’ll be glad to hear that funds raised go towards raising the size and scope of our roller disco theme camp at AfrikaBurn 2016.
So come roll with us at Peepshow CT Roller Disco, a new and exciting event in the city that promotes skating, local performance art, getting fit and having fun. Open to all creatives, rebels, fringe folk and fitness freaks.
FORMAT
A monthly roller disco, with rotating variety performances at each event.
The event will open at 7:30pm with music and skating to start the event.
At 8:30-ish we invite our audience to a watch a performance or entertainment piece by a local up-and-coming artist. This performance will vary at every event, from bands, comedians, dancers and short films to mini scrimmages, magic or circus acts.
At 9:30-ish, the music comes back full blast and our talented DJ’s will get our skaters disco dancing into the night with the grooviest music from every era until we close at midnight.
The roller derby and skating scene in Cape Town, is a rather small community- we’d like to invite you to come try out skating with us and have a jol with your friends.
Rolling with Peep Show CT aims at making skating a social event where meaningful artistic connections are made. We will be creating a new kind of event in Cape Town, generating interest in the roller derby sport and providing a space for young artists to show/develop their work. The roller disco will be fun, educational, and inspiring- with the goal of providing entertainment and education around roller skating while motivating young artists to showcase their work. The event is a chance for roller skating to be considered more than a sport, but also a social activity that can expand creative networks. Most importantly we are providing Cape Town with a new social setting, where the focus is skating for fun with friends, while socializing and promoting physical and mental health amongst young people.
