The Melbourne Outrageous Theatre House is an artist-led collective drawing from contemporary dance, circus, and physical theatre to create unique performance experiences for music festivals, events,
and beyond.
We like to get deep. We like to get weird.
We like living, breathing art.
Our works strive to be both abstract and visceral.
Inspired by both the beauty and chaos of the nightlife industry,
MOTH Artists create works that simultaneously reflect
and embody the experience of the music and event itself.
Check out some of our creative talent below!
Sofia
Movement Artist + Choreographer + Concept Artist
Apart from being our Founder and Creative Director, Sofia is a spicy Mexican professional dancer who fell into the circus rabbit hole and never looked back. Specialising in contemporary dance, hula hoop, lyra, 'upside-downing', and music festivals/events, she wanted to find a way to bring all of her passions together... MOTH is that.
April
Aerial, Movement + Concept Artist
April Savige - Savage - is an aerial artist with a flair for darkness, taboo, and sexuality. Exploring the places where sexuality meets and becomes art, the pole is her obvious apparatus of choice... Delightfully corrupting audiences with an element of perversion. her performances play with the disturbing as much as the seductive.
Beyond her aerial expertise, Savage is a talented concept curator and has played a vital role in every step of the development of MOTH throughout our emergence.
