Invertigo Dance Theatre's FORMULAE & FAIRY TALES will world premiere at The Broad Stage September 13th and 14th, before going on tour beginning of next year. FORMULAE & FAIRY TALES re-imagines the life of mathematical genius and WWII codebreaker Alan Turing in a mash-up with the Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

This time at the aesthetically invigorating and lovely renovated Ford Theatre; originally entitled, prophetically first named, The PILGRIMAGE Theatre. It was an enlivening evening from start to finish. Ms. Brockus is a hands-on participant, besides organizing, directing, choreographing and publicizing and cheerleading all involved, she was there to greet the theatre goers and anyone coming to support and witness this celebration. Take note of her tenacity and perseverance.

Photo Flash: Invertigo Dance Theatre's AFTER IT HAPPENED
Invertigo Dance Theatre will perform After It Happened, a breath-taking work of magical realism set in the aftermath of a natural disaster as a community rebuilds itself, at Santa Barbara's New Vic Theater (33 W. Victoria Street, Santa Barbara, CA, 93101) on Saturday, October 22 and Sunday, October 23.
After It Happened exhibits Invertigo's virtuosic dancing delivered with the company's signature and stunning athletic physicality, complimented by live music, vivid elements of theatre, spoken dialogue, and puppetry. The piece is a testament to the human capacity to create light, song, and re-growth when foundations and structure are swept away.
Invertigo Dance Theatre is a Los Angeles-based company founded in 2007, the company was recently awarded a Bloomberg Philanthropies' Arts Innovation and Management (AIM) program grant.
