Updates and Announcements for December 2022
‘Tis the season to be jolly!
Time flies really fast and we are finally down to the last month of 2022!
We are getting ready for 2023, keep reading to see what’s happening!
The Grotesque Creature is heading to the land of chilly bins, jandals, and L&P.
In February 2023, Limits will premiere in Aotearoa at the NZ Fringe Festival.
LIMITS shares the story of a Grotesque Creature navigating the world through a stereotypically “hot-body”.
As The Creature tries to live up to the world’s expectations, she is sabotaged by insecurity, self-hate, and her limitations.
LIMITS is a hard-hitting comedy that challenges perceptions of beauty, perfection and disability.
“4/5 smashed Barbies…ideas are expressed with the maturity and grace of a committed artist”
– Kate Gaul, Theatre Now
“Engaging, funny, dangerous.”
– Audience Member
“Hard-hitting… deliciously disorientating, and slightly overwhelming…”
– Kate Maguire-Rosier, Mr Kate Goes To The Theatre

‘Beauty and The Grotesque Beast’ is a choreographic workshop for performance makers of all disciplines. It is a way of generating ideas and material without judgement, stemming from Bonnie’s practice-based research (GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS, Wonderland, Limits, and BCP’s current work in development).
This workshop breaks down methods of creating provocative, confronting and comedic performance.
Drawing on aspects of satire, parody, burlesque, dance theatre, dark comedy, surrealism, and pop culture, participants will learn how to develop material and characterisations that challenge stereotypes, social norms and expectations of gender and beauty.
Supported by the Academy of Music & Performing Arts (AMPA).
WORKSHOP INFORMATION
Dates: Sunday 5 March, 2023

Venue: Academy of Music and Performing Arts, Alexandria.
