FEMME

• Dance Theatre

South Australia

From the Paris catwalks, to the office boardroom, performer Erin Fowler brings solo theatrical dance work 'FEMME', 2019 Best Dance Winner, back to the Adelaide Fringe for two shows only following shows in Reykjavik, Edinburgh and Stockholm. Drawing on her experiences as a fashion model and businesswoman, 'FEMME' is one woman's search for self within the cacophony of gender and sexual conditioning that surrounds us.

Winner of Best Dance in the 2019 Adelaide Fringe, and having toured to the Reykjavik, Edinburgh and Stockholm Fringe Festivals, FEMME explores concepts of femininity and female sexuality, the female body, the gender roles we conform to, or break against, and what it means to be powerful in a largely masculine dominant culture.

Please note: The 18th February performance has had a venue change from 'Black Box Theatre' to 'Open Air Theatre' since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed.
