DEER WOMAN is an original solo performance work that straddles the genres of fantasy, horror, autobiography and live pole dancing to tell the story of an exotic dancer who is visited one night in her dreams by a mysterious half-woman, half-deer creature. She is imbued with a dark magic that is both helpful (as when it is conjured to protect her when she is vulnerable) and also harmful (in that it fosters violent fantasies against others, particularly the men for whom she dances). She must now reconcile her love of dancing with the burden of ancestral rage she has inherited from the monster. Based on a true story.
