REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Her performance takes us past the borders that separate the comedic and the tragic… full of energy, intimacy and vitality.’ LibrePensadores

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Bull: The True Story Here “lies” a true story about luck, maps, kidnap, a lost ransom, lost love, donuts, Hawaii 5-0, Fargo, betrayal and lies. This is a true story. (47 mins, 1 on stage, 3 on the road.)

Any Questions? A question can intrigue, challenge or flatter. It could start a war and turn a stranger into a friend. What would you ask if you were guaranteed a true answer? Collaboration with Joshua Sofaer. (Duration varies, 2 performers, 2 on the road.)

You Are Here… But Where am I? Part installation, part one to one interrogation. A political intervention and poetic collaboration between an audience member who unknowingly creates their own personal passport. (Duration can vary, 1 performer, 2 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Lifted Paula Rego's painting, Girl Raising Her Skirts to a Dog is the inspiration for this bestial exploration of love, lust and loss. It reveals the innocent perversion and casual cruelty that lies beneath the petticoats of convention. (1 performer, 2 on the road.)

Room 474 Investigates the underbelly of icebergs, between hotel bed sheets and steamy cold showers. It's about going down, coming up and holding on too long to love and life. (1 performer, 2 on the road.)

All Change Takes the audience on a transformational train journey of self discovery and wild illumination. Part performance, part workshop and all change. (2 performers, 2 on the road)
