That's Amore. By Kate Burgess, is a satire and multifaceted dance theatre performance combined with 5 short films. This work is produced by Alchemy Dance Collective and performed by 6 local female dancers.

Take a seat and come on a journey, through a visual diary inside a day in the life of a female bartender. Showcasing relatable themes, problems and messages, for anyone who has been apart the hospitality industry or as a customer.

The show begins with a short film, tins shaking, smiling bartenders and funky music. It then takes a turn where you see the other side of the bar; the prep, stress, missing stock, endless glassware, and workers smashing food on the floor between rushes. You will laugh, cry, resonate, and further question some of the normalities of a hospitality worker.
