BBC Scotland - Loop, Edinburgh Special

An Edinburgh Special featuring drag queens, sex education, flamenco and football.

The return of the Edinburgh Festivals sees Loop meet drag queen Alice Rabbit and The Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, as well as the creators of Fringe shows 1902 and Sex Education Xplorers.

Edinburgh drag queen Alice Rabbit takes Loop on a whistle-stop tour of Edinburgh, from CC Blooms to the street performers of the Royal Mile, and ending on stage for her debut headline show at the Fringe Festival’s much-anticipated return.

The Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company demonstrates the process of layering guitar, voice, rhythm and dance to create their uplifting piece Alegría En Escosia (Happiness in Scotland), before treating us to a performance.

Loop also hears from the creators behind Sex Education Xplorers, a piece of comedy theatre providing a new perspective on sex education, and Nathan Scott-Dunn, writer and director of 1902, explains his passion for making theatre accessible to football fans.
