Four shadows of the same young woman expressing heightened emotional states: anticipation, amusement, mild disgust and awe, they are in shades of yellow and orange only on a yellow backdrop.
A dancer performs a virtuosic high kicking movement, behind her a screen shows live video of her performing the move again and again into infinity, below which are the words "no further context will be given"
a young woman makes an expression of uncertainty in front of a screen that bears the words "we are all born confused"

Eliza Sanders' Manage Your Expectations

She starts with a simple task: tell you everything that will happen in the show, so you can decide if you would like to see it. But nothing is ever that simple.

As caveats, contexts, claimers and disclaimers pile up, bits of personal history spill across the stage (her history and yours) and it begins to feel like nothing will ever be explainable again. But just as it’s about to shatter, performance maverick Eliza Sanders scoops up and transforms what seemed like a mess of muddled moments, into a series of movements and images so bursting with meaning they hum in your bones. 

Runner-up Best In Fringe, Most Innovative, WINNER Outstanding Solo Performance, NZ Fringe 24. WINNER Best Performer, Whangārei Fringe '24.

A funny, deeply personal journey through history, heartbreak and selfhood.

This is NOT an interactive work (except inside your own mind.)
