Read excerpt
The Village People get a makeover in YMCĀ. Photo / Sophie Miya-Smith There’s a certain irony in choreographer Oli Mathiesen’s early memories of dancing to Y.M.C.A. at primary school. His queerness hadn’t yet “bubbled to the surface”, but chances are some of the kids who boogied along to the 70s disco hit were the same ones who’d later bully him for being gay.
