Actor Grant Smeaton has a new collaboration with choreographer Alan Greig. By Neil Cooper
One of these was Klaus Nomi, a shock-haired singer with a piercingly high voice, who fused post-punk performance art with operatic arias.
Thirty years on, Smeaton, in collaboration with choreographer Alan Greig, has created Do You Nomi?, a dance theatre homage to Nomi, who died of Aids-related illnesses in 1983 aged 29. As Smeaton explains, Nomi was a fascinating character, whose own performances were hugely theatrical.
