Kitchen Table - Jo Fong and Sonia Hughes

Kitchen Table invites you to pull up a chair with your pre-show drink and join the hosts of undisciplined festival, artists Jo Fong and Sonia Hughes, for a chat before the performance of Starving Dingoes by Léa Tirabasso. What’s been fizzing for you? What’s got your goat? Where have you found joy?

Presented as part of South East Dance’s undisciplined, a festival showcasing dance with a sharp edge; dance that pushes the boundaries of the artform and challenges us to see life from different perspectives.
