Shadow World: A Queer IFS Pole Dance Epic

An original evening length fantasy adventure story told through pole and contemporary dance. Inspired by Internal Family Systems as a therapeutic modality, this show is a metaphor for self-exploration, acceptance, and integration. Equal parts emotional and lighthearted, it’s an experience with something to offer every viewer.

Follow our protagonist, River, as they plunge into the shadow realm in pursuit of an alluring Demon. River’s quest leads them to encounter all the different parts of themself, represented by playful creatures, water spirits, sexy angels and demons, a massive dragon, horny frogs, and more. Featuring over 50 dancers and artists of the River’s Way community, epic puppets, dazzling sets and costumes, this is a voyage for the ages that you won’t want to miss.

Doors at 2:30pm, show at 3pm
