PRETTY LITTLE INSTINCTS

Victoria Critic’s Choice Award –  2009
Victoria’s Favourite Choreographer - 2009
Best Dance Show – Victoria  2009
Most Innovative Show – Victoria  2009
Renegade outdoor dance theatre.  High society tea crumbles into a display of primal instincts as nine women, painted an eerie chalk white, unravel their raw intuition.  Pretty Little Instincts premiered at the Victoria Fringe and toured to Fort York for the SummerWorks Festival National Series in Toronto 2010.
“Provocative and engaging—and, at times, wonderfully silly--Pretty Little Instincts is the kind of experience you’ll talk about for years to come.”

“A true winner, luxuriously mixing the natural ambiance with the movement of high society ghosts. . . a haunting work that destructs the folly of conformity in a rigid society.” - James Roxby, PLANK Magazine
