Moths - Co-directed and choreographed by Paul Zivkovich

Two men collide in a dank night world, drenched with loss and heavy with hope. Who do you see in your dreams?

Sixteen - Co-directed and choreographed by Kat Worth
A coming of age game about the joy, nervousness, desire and intimacy of the different kinds of connections a young woman will, did or might have in her life.

Necessity - Co-directed and choreographed by Tuula Roppola
A game between two girls eternally bound together as they trace their lives onto the walls of their room and try to get below the surface.
