Activity: Hula Hoop Disco (Free materials)
Create your own Hula Hoop Disco at home inspired by the music and performance of Grace Jones.
To create your own disco environment at home, let's start by changing the lighting. Try to make the room dark, if you have any lamps you could place them in different ways around the room.
If you have a torch you could try attaching some sweetie wrappers with some sticky tape to the end, to make a coloured disco light effect. If you have anything sparkly add that to the room too!
You will need to find a nice clear space to practice.
Think of this space as your stage, this could be on a bed, a space on the floor, or maybe even outside. To get inspiration watch Grace Jones
Now lets get some music to get you Hula Hooping!
You can listen to our Grace Jones soundtrack here, we think Do or Die or Love is the Drug might be good to wiggle to! Or you could Hula Hoop along at the same time as Grace to Slave to the Rhythm.
If you haven’t got a Hula Hoop at home, you can collect one from us, for free! Please email ljacques@nottinghamcontemporary.org to reserve your Hula Hoop.
Could you create your own costumes to add to your performance?
Maybe you could video call some friends and have a Hula Hoop disco party?
We would love to see your Hula Hoop wiggles! Share with us on social media #NCmaking

Working digitally, means we miss all those lovely conversations we would usually have with you, sharing ideas, listening, and seeing how you respond to our workshops. It is difficult to get feedback when we don't see you and this would really help.
The survey takes about 10 mins or less to complete and it will really help our team to understand more about what you thought ready for when we are back together at Nottingham Contemporary. You can fill out our survey by clicking here.
