SSSHHHH!!!! SOMETHING IS MOVING IN THE BUSHES! Something artificial? Something gorgeous? Something monstrous? Something natural? 

Little Miss Beast Mode dances in the blur between animals and humans, between the natural and the supernatural, the organic and the artificial. Choreographer and dance artist Andreas Haglund moves through a cavalcade of creatures, tracing the ideological tensions behind staged biomimicry. What ideas of nature do portrayals of the natural world reveal? And who is welcome in that very nature?

In Little Miss Beast Mode an array of beasts—grotesque, cutesy, confused and unhinged—frollick through the hazy maze of the black box. These constantly transforming apparitions sniff out the promises of queer ecology. What happens when nature is articulated from a position denied access to the so-called "natural"? 

With a crack of the whip, Little Miss Beast Mode snaps through the rigid confines of this supposed naturality, leaving behind a wild mesh of beasts that dance out a world where nature is anything but fixed. Something is really moving in the bushes.
