Step into our enchanting realm, where century old mythological beings & beasts come to life, inspiring imaginations, explaining struggles, and guiding us through life. We invite you to witness a transformative journey, where creatures like the fabled Phoenix, whimsical Fae, & elusive Teumessian Fox serve as metaphors for the mental & physical struggles we all face.

Reviews & Fringefeed Reacts

Finding Beauty is resplendent with a bewitching mix of burlesque and seductive dance, with a dash of aerials and acrobatics for good measure - Justine Hall, See Do Eat Review
I liked the idea of Fawn again challenging stereotypes and going against the grain when it comes to public stigmas. - Steve Amery, Mind Share
