Nelson Gardner
director – choreographer
Like many before him, Nelson was born in a rare, metallic substance known as ‘Zaxtrin C’ and implanted into a giant, enigmatic cloud of swirling energy referred to only as ‘The Great Rhythm’.
He also got a Bachelor of Music Theatre from VCA about a year ago, so now people pay him to act, sing, dance, teach, inspire, motivate and fight bouts of crippling self-doubt.
Jessie Ngaio
producer – set and costumes – performer

In 2007 Jessie Ngaio ran away from her small hometown in New Zealand to study for her Masters in Fine Arts. Since graduating, she has exhibited a couple of times a year as well as having worked in a gallery, a bank and porn. She has also made some dumb comics, weird videos, psychotic paintings, unflattering photos and creepy dolls. When Jessie isn’t making “art”, she’s complaining about how much her hands hurt from RSI, looking at pictures of naked people, and thinking about feminism and shit. Jessie likes boobs, glitter, colours that burn your eyeballs and long walks on the beach looking for mermaid corpses.
