Repeat after me, “This is Nature… take it in.

Strange Natures is an evening-length immersive dance and theatre work that transformed a historic homestead and farm into a world populated by glitter, trash, and shiny things where three mutable characters and a live DJ built an upside-down queer dance party/communion as a strategy towards surviving a world driven by climate catastrophe.‍

Strange Natures unravels through original choreography, chaotic/monologic vignettes born of our current reality TV zeitgeist, sound composition and design, drag performance, and Power Wheels™ racing. Born from the research of queer ecology and futurity, Strange Natures invites audiences to find kinship with each other, with trash, with glitter, and with our increasingly plastic future; creating queer snapshots of the world we are living through, or will live through.

Strange Natures is an unapologetically queer show and thus contains aesthetically relevant sexualized nudity and non-nudity, drag, lip-syncing, ball pits, potions, and plenty of sparkly things.

The 2023 version of Strange Natures enjoyed a 12 show sold-out run.

Strange Natures is available for touring and commission both as a full evening-length immersive performance or as a 20-minute dance work on a proscenium stage, please contact us for more videos and touring information.

Strange Natures was made possible through support from the SCFD Arapahoe County; the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation; the National Endowment for the Arts; Colorado Creative Industries; Community First Foundation, and many generous individuals. Strange Natures was made in partnership with the Aurora History Museum and the City of Aurora.
