When I was little and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would tell them “a ballerina and a gorilla”. And now I’m making a show called Zoology to finally live up to my childhood dream. It’s part performance lecture and part dance work for one woman and two children. It’s being made with a whole bunch of amazing partners and people and we’re excited to share that it’s going to be part of APAM as a full-length showcase in February 2026 for its premiere.
