For You to Know and Me to Find Out

Winner of "Best in Fringe" and "Adelaide Fringe Tour Ready Award" at NZ Fringe Festival 2025, nominated for "Best in Dance" at Sydney Fringe Festival 2025 and described as a "masterclass in expressive movement and humour" (Theatreview) seasoned performer Liv Tennet (800 Words, Kiri and Lou, Double Parked) brings her solo show to Adelaide for the first time.
With a soundtrack as eclectic as her toddler's palate, and displaying a wide range of dance genres, Liv draws on her own experience of simultaneously trying to keep a small human alive, whilst also keeping her own artistic identity alive. This show will have you crying one moment and laughing the next as we get a glimpse of the joyous, maddening, exhausting and ultimately fortifying experience of being a "cool mom".
