Description Three separate works:

Nao Bustamante, America, The Beautiful, Feb 5-8
Groovii Biscuit, The Unruly Child, Feb 5-7, 12-14
Holly Hughes, Clit Notes, Feb 10-14

Nao Bustamante, a second generation Mexican American, presents America, The Beautiful. Climbing up ladders in 4" heels, her voluptuous Latin physique corseted in packing tape, Nao stretches her physical as well as metaphorical boundaries taking us on a journey in search of success in a skinny, blonde, sex-kitten world. "Distorted visions of traditional female sexuality with the mood of a carnival freak show, wildly and daringly exaggerating each moment until to becomes a surreal stew" (Express).

For those who love a late show, Sydney's own cLUB bENT stalwart Groovii Biscuit presents her first full-length solo piece, The Unruly Child. "The tale of Sherina Von Tina will be told; a poor soul who was born without a script into a world were everybody else has one. Can you imagine the dilemma of having to improvise your entire life while everyone's already learned their lines"

Holly Hughes has been described as "Hell on Heels" by the Village Voice. In her show Clit Notes we encounter the mind of Holly Hughes in all its story-telling splendour leading us into the "tangled and unmapped thicket where life and art meet." Holly represents all that is exciting and on the edge about feminist performance art.
