PRETTY GAY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS ‘DANCES ABOUT LOVE’:
QUEER TALES OF LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

 
‘Dances About Love’ brings together three choreographers who use dance as a medium to tell three fabulous queer love stories. The choreographers, Hahna Briggs, Lisa Wilkinson and Brendan Kydd all studied dance together at the University of Otago, School of Physical Education. A decade later they found themselves living in Dunedin, participating in the local dance and LGBT communities. Briggs, Wilkinson and Kydd, excited about the prospect of a collaboration, formed Pretty Gay Productions and began talking, the outcome being, ‘Dances About Love’.
 
The choreographers utilise personal experience, diary excerpts of a dancer from her high school years and the online comic blog of a New Zealand transgender man to explore a range of real life love stories. The choreographers represent an emotional rollercoaster of young love, the honeymoon period, high school formals, hand holding in public, going on testosterone and so much more!
 
‘Dances About Love’ will be an entertaining evening for anyone and everyone! This show contains adult themes and partial nudity. Come along to the Play House Theatre on Saturday 12^th November 9pm; and Sunday 13^th November, 2pm and 7pm. Cash Bar one hour prior to evening shows.
