CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A hypnotic journey following seven dancers revolving on individual turntables transforming from a state of embellished adornment into pure nude sculptures. Staged entirely on turntables enabling performances in either site-specific or theatre venues. (45 minutes, 7 dancers, 11 on the road.)

A bittersweet fairytale exploring our secret dreams and fears, combining a fantastical set and costumes with an original soundtrack. Created for a family audience and performed in theatres. (90 mins, 9 dancers, 12 on the road.)

A sensuous site-specific piece for nightclubs/live music venues, blending lush imagery with luxuriant dancing, allowing intimacy between audience and dancers. (150 mins, 12 dancers, 17 on the road, contains some nudity.)
