Model. Woman. Human.
A satirical account of a person’s life as all three as they size up what counts.

Rising Tides is a platform developed by GBworks to support performance-based artists making unique work that prioritizes collaboration, equality and openness. The formation of GBworks was instigated by Gianna Burright and Gwynne Bilski’s desire to create ongoing platforms to showcase their own work while also supporting and presenting the work of other female, female identifying, and non-binary artists. Rising Tides;01 is the first in an ongoing series where Gianna and Gwynne carefully curate an evening interdisciplinary work spanning dance, theater, performance-based art and live music, in conscious celebration of the power of feminine identities.

Butterfly Powder: A Very Modern Play
by Jack Robertson
“this might almost be amusing if it were some farce played upon a stage but this is my life!”
It is a perfectly mediocre morning in the very modern household of Mr and Mrs Fox. They sip rhubarb tea and avoid eye contact. With the arrival of increasingly strange visitors, things soon start to spiral out of control. The maid has prophetic dreams, the widow has allergies and the goldfish may or may not have a toothache.
Then a murder takes place and that’s when it starts getting weird.
A new dark absurdist comedy from a writer you’ve never heard of.
