Ladyforce Quatre is the winner of 'Best Dance' at the Dunedin Fringe, 'Very Highly Commended' and 'Stand Out Performer' at the New Zealand Fringe Festival this year.The show includes the award winning work 'Fishnet' voted 'Best of tempo' and 'Best Dancer' at the tempo 06 awards. The season runs from the 9 - 11 October at TAPAC Theatre, 10pm.

Katie Burton presents her work 'Scuttle' as the opening work of the programme. 'Scuttle' creates an intriguing world where dancers scurry through space, responding to elusive light and sound with intricate dance routines.

' - .in this work she (Burton) has really excavated the movement to find the treasure.' Theatreview, February 2008.

Maria Dabrowska is well known to dance audiences for creating dramatic dance work. Her work 'Solo 2' is "a dance about dancing, because sometimes that's what I like to do."

'Dabrowska is an unconventional and totally idiosyncratic dance artist whose dark sensuality tinged with razor-sharp comic wit slips in the places of our psyche and imagination we are usually not allowed to go. Like eating the last chocolate in your parent's special truffle box, watching her dance is always a naughty but wicked pleasure. Consume at your own peril! '
Jack Gray, DANZ QUARTERLY, No 7 April 2007

Kilda Northcott and Lyne Pringle complete the triple bill with 'Fishnet'. 'Fishnet' was the sell out success of tempo 2006. Down right fun and sexy, it scooped all of the major awards: now is your chance to see an excerpt from the show or to relish it, like a fine wine, again. This provocative and brilliant work has been celebrated the length and breadth of the country; it is a rapturous exploration of the expressive body by two of New Zealand's celebrated senior contemporary dancers.

"Dance-ability flows though their veins to every extremity, along with a healthy sense of humour and an infectious sense of delight in their work. Catch Fishnet if you can." National Business Review

The choreographers are joined onstage by dancers Megan Hughes (Black Grace) and Jenny Nicholas (Malia Johnston, Guy Ryan). Musicians Sally Nicholas, Josh Tilsley and Plan 9 and have all composed original music for the show.
