“...a performer/raconteur who looks at the world and observes it exquisitely and then constructs poetry/prose to communicate her take on it. Rosie Dennis is quirky, witty, compassionate and more, everything one would want from a human being. She makes you happy to be with her. The dancing, the organising of her presentation, her props, her stories, her sheer beauty is a glorious thing to experience.” Kevin Jackson Blogspot Fraudulent Behaviour uses prose, invisible friends, a decoy duck and cardboard cut-outs to create a witty and thoughtful performance in response to Nietzsche’s assertion “We need lies in order to live...”
The work is about the lies that are rarely questioned; the lies that are taken for granted; and the lies we tell when the truth is too complicated.
Fraudulent Behaviour will be touring nationally July/August 2010.
