Meet The Witches – Opening Friday 14th April

If you thought having Robert DeNiro as your father in law was scary, think again! When our young witch and her long time boyfriend get engaged, it’s time to MEET THE WITCHES.

The petrifying mother, the promiscuous sister and Wowen Wilson, the neighbour, are the bizarre trio we meet once our young couple arrive home. The mother, Terrorfina instantly decides this young mortal man is not worthy enough for her daughters love and puts him to the test. Based on the hit movies “Meet the Parents” and “Meet the Fockers”, we take a ride though all things 90’s including Baywatch, 90210, Judge Judy along with songs by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Christina Aguilera, Natalie Imbuglia, INXS, Backstreet Boys and lots more.

Come along and find out if our young mortal survives meeting the Witches!

Opening 14th April – Tickets on sale.

MICHELLE DI MONTE

Michelle first experienced Tango in 2011 while visiting Argentina for the first time. She was captivated at first glance by this passionate and mesmerising dance. For her it represented a large part of what life is all about; love, commitment, trust, connection, intimacy and also sadly, to a large extent what many people are missing.

Upon returning to Australia, she attempted to learn the tango, but with no dance background found it difficult to find the connection and essence of the dance. Tango is a cultural and folkloric dance which was still relatively new in Australia and as the saying goes it takes two to tango.

In 2015 she met her life and now dance partner Fabio Robles. As a dancer and choreographer he taught her from the beginnings the tango and as a result they have been teaching and dancing together, both nationally and internationally since 2018. Some of their work includes performances for the Argentine Embassy in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney and partaking in the International Tango Summit In Los Angeles.

Michelle now knows there is so much more to tango than what she initially thought. It’s not just about love, commitment, trust, connection and intimacy but also confidence, strength, fun, exploring and so much more. Tango is a way of life

JAKE HART

Hailing from Australia by way of Sweden and Indonesia and with a background in music and martial arts since the age of 5, Jake is proud to always represent Argentine Tango Grand Master Fabio Robles who taught him to dance from 2007 and onwards. He took first place as an Amateur in the 2009 Australian Tango Championship.

Since then he has competed, coached and performed professionally at major international Tango Festivals, and has worked in and headlined many touring tango shows including One Night in Buenos Aires, Ole Ola, Tango X and Twilight Tango.

Jake dances only Argentine Tango full time, continuing to study with the world’s leading artists and learn from his greatest inspiration and partner Bora. Together they love to dance a style of tango which is built on mutual freedom, deep love and uncompromising movement quality.

BORA ALBA

Bora stumbled into Tango by chance 14 years ago and she immediately knew that she was in it forever.

Bora sees Tango as the dance of True Love, uniting the two most powerful forces in nature: Intimacy with an Other and Expression of the Self. She has been exploring not only the role of the ‘follower’ and the way its female energy can be powerful and expressive without disrupting the creation of the leader, but also the role of the ‘leader’ and the way that its male energy can provide much more than just direction and steps but also protection and human warmth.

While Bora has chosen tango as her only art form, she has been inspired in her ideas by many different dance styles as well as various athletic disciplines and loves to find ways to make tango body technique more powerful and more efficient, while preserving the fundamental ‘essence’ of the dance and the beauty of the embrace. After years of searching, she has finally found the partner of her dreams, Jake and works with him every day to develop their art and travel deeper inside her Self and toward Love.
