What if Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly had a love affair, or Rita Hayworth with Ginger Rogers?
Lost Cow Performances presents a new full-length show, ‘Untitled Queer Commercial Dance Show’ for the 2015 NZ Fringe Festival. Follow our cast of exciting characters in a high energy dance show packed with
lyrical, jazz, hip hop and contemporary dance, that questions what it means to be queer.
A team of talented local dancers are adding another voice to the queer world, bringing up issues of gender identity,
sexuality and stereotyping through dance. Each character provides a unique story which explores a different facet to
being queer in the 21st century.
Ex K’Road go-go dancer and Hutt Valley native Jeremy Haxton presents his first full length show with collaborative
efforts from his dancers. After experimenting and presenting contemporary dance works, most recently A measure of freedom for a measure of success for the Short and Sweet Dance Festival, he has decided the best way to present an all Queer work to the public is by
pirouetting and high-kicking his way to their hearts.
A graduate of UNITEC Performing Arts School in Auckland, Jeremy returned to Wellington for a simpler, humbler life. He
currently exists as a freelance dancer, teacher, choreographer and full-time queer, training to be a qualified ballet
teacher through Danceworkz studio. He longs to see the queer population more represented in mainstream culture without
the over-the-top stereotypes which come with it. With that, his Untitled Queer Commercial Dance Show was born.
His prior contemporary works have been seen as humorous and light-hearted, whilst being also thought-provoking. He has
enjoyed playing with gender roles and the ridiculous expectations associated with them.
