Book NowAbout the show
Performed by Joyce Lao for The Ally Artists Group, this hybrid show blends a TED-talk format with workshop, transformation exercise and improv performance. Dr Kara Kibara presents herself as a dating and relationship guru, while unintentionally reflecting on her own single life. The show features original songs and snippets of familiar tunes from the eighties and nineties, alongside choreography and monologues. Audience members are invited to read questions, and some are invited to move and dance with the performer. The show runs for 50 minutes at Haldane Theatre and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A warm, participatory show that blends self-help satire with original music and comic storytelling. Joyce Lao's performance as the haplessly self-aware Dr Kara Kibara promises laughs, dancing and a few unexpected feelings.
