In Flagrante show dance title ADDICTION (first performed St James Cabaret, Wellington 2011
Music Title: Addicted
Music Artist: Klaus Waldeck
Choreography/narrative/theme:
Tapping the songs title and driving beats, this work explores Eve as a beleagured 1950’s cigarette girl. A trivialised, mythologised and eternally put upon female – who ultimately asserts her wilfulness and her role in the eternal story of Adam and Eve.

In Flagrante show dance title: BLINDFOLD (first performed Wellington St James Cabaret 2011)
Music Title: Dope Noir
Music Artist: Klaus Waldeck
Choreography/narrative/theme:
Drawing on the moody melodic and unique vocal signature of Dope Noir, this piece mirrors Erte’s Spirit of Ecstasy, an enduring symbol of freedom and sensuality on the nose of every Rolls Royce. Danced with blindfold and strings attached to her lover, this work probes the boundaries between capture and freedom. A deeply sensual and elegant work that matches the spirit of the music perfectly.

In Flagrante show dance title: MAKE MY DAY (first performed Wellington St James cabaret 2011)
Music Title: Make my Day
Music Artist: Klaus Waldeck
Choreography/narrative/theme:
Picking up on the sassy hustling beats and vocals of this track, Make My Day presents a comedic satire of an insecure airline hostess who vacillates between over confidence and neuroses. And who ultimately opts for impetuosity and sexual provocation.

Music Title: Jerry Weintraub
Music Artist: Klaus Waldeck
Choreography/narrative/theme:
The busy city metro feel of Jerry Weintraub, frames a North Korean Trafficgirl with an attitude problem. This work explores women in uniform, as signallers and authority figures who subvert and ridicule the male construct.

In Flagrante show dance title NURSES (first performed Wellington St James Cabaret 2011)
Music Title: Why Did We Fire that Gun
Music Artist: Klaus Waldeck
Choreography/narrative/theme:
Set to the beautiful rolling rhythm and rich lyrical content of Why Did We Fire That Gun, this work is a wickedly funny, provocative journeyinto deep fetish, from colonics to innoculations. A tribute to nurses as saviours, sex objects, Bond Girls and custodians of bodily fluids.
