Opening Night:

It was great to join the Brisbane team and open up the year in events at this show. We were on the edge of our seats the entire time taken into a world of meshed science fiction and Victorian period with waves of psychadelic and repitilian costuming.

Such strength and syncronicity in the choreography demanding physical precision in mind blowing gravitational challenges and height.
