  • Presented by: Tessa Redman

  • Lighting design: Elekis Poblete Teirney

  • Sound Design: Jackie Jenkins

Continuing her research into the glory, madness and intensity of falling hopelessly into romance, Tessa Redman introduces herself to Naarm with a conversational dance about (you guessed it) love.

Tessa will present an innocent, raunchy, heartfelt investigation into the ebbs and flows of love within all facets of our lives. A deconstruction of the human heart, a remapping of a young woman’s heightened emotions, a love letter to love. Join Tessa as she dives deep into erotic love, romantic love, jealous love, familiar love, painful love, uncomfortable love, cheesy love.

Inspired by her first-hand experiences of being in love, whether that be through family, friends, crushes, fanfictions, snogs or boybands, Tessa will attempt to experience the manifestation of love within and beyond what is traditionally considered romantic.

Get ready to embark on a journey of falling in love again and again and again.
