The Things I Should Be Sorry For is a dance theatre work created and performed by Chris Scherer, creatively produced by Jennifer Greer Holmes.
It is a performance which relies on interaction from the general public, who have been telling us The Things They Should Be Sorry For by submitting their stories online via our website and social media.
So far, over 150 submissions have been received, resulting in a huge amount of darkly hilarious and poignant material. Our next step is to bring that material together, expand our team and get this party started.
We are about to embark on a residency at Vitalstatistix from now until the end of January 2014 and we need a small top up of cash to make it viable.
We anticipate doing the final development in mid-2014 to be ready to present the final work in 2015.
Chris and Jennifer work together because they love the same things: trash, dogs in costumes, rude jokes, sequins and terrible slash amazing pop music by sad divas.

Due to the nature of creative employment, Chris divides his time between Europe and Australia. This just means that Jenn and Chris do most of their work via late night/early morning Skype sessions and are ready to rock Port Adelaide #danceoffportadelaide
