Big Time Miss

A big dance for the moment the joke dries up.

 

In Big Time Miss, a group of funny people are forced to dissolve their clownish selves in favour of their lush emotional interiors as they navigate the turbulence of their real lives. Set within a shape-shifting cloud of theatrical potential, Big Time Miss is an absurdist dreamscape rooted in Rock Bottom Movement’s signature approach to unbridled, athletic contemporary dance theatre.
