'Animal is a dark horror, a minute tale of epic proportions. In a remote town, two sisters hover on the edge of society. Dominated by their destructive mother and muted by the secret of a father not long buried, they begin a relentless quest to prepare for the predators circling outside.

'Through heightened physicality and visceral splendor, Animal explores the circumstance we are born into, the cycle of violence and examines how these deeply imbedded patterns can change or be broken.'

1 1 Once Upon a Sky Kate Sherman , Freya Sant , 2010 single work drama '"Once Under a Sky" is a whimsical yet energetic tale of two fisherwomen who journey from their seaside village to arid desert. Today is a day like no other.... May thinks that August is a fish, she believes she has an upside down tree in her chest and she wipes up their puddle they have been caring for the last 17 years. When they realise the watering holes have dried up the women are forced to embark on a journey away from their comforts and into the terrifying desert. In a moment of desperation they fish in a tiny pool of spit and uncover a mighty storm and grief as big as the heart of a whale.' Source: /www.oldfitzroy.com.au (Sighted 25/05/2011).
