She Melts
physical theatre, one performer & one musician
7pm Sat Sept 10& 7pm Sun Sept 11 2016 at Maleny Indoor Activity Centre
“Where is my heart?” she asks, released at last from her frozen slumber. She melts through memories in search of that vital missing part… but will she be tempted to remain fragmented? or has she the courage to make herself whole?
Performer Cindy Schwenn presents a darkish fairytale based upon her personal story told through physical theatre, circus aerials, dance and spoken word with original live music by Sue Moxon.
“She Melts” is created by Cindy Schwenn with Sue Moxon and Celia White. All music is composed by Sue Moxon. Creative support was received from Anna Yen and other talented women within the Brisbane circus community.
You can follow the creative development of ‘She Melts’ on Cindy’s blog page.
Artist Bio’s
Cindy Schwenn is an artist of many creative disciplines including circus, dance, physical theatre, storytelling and visual art.

Cindy also runs Sylph Circus, a youth circus performance group and training centre for young people in Maleny, Queensland Australia.
