Byte Your Tongue

Byte your tongue is a wonderful one person dance work that weaves and layers the multiple mediums of dance, lighting, video, and sound, resulting in an impactful and thought provoking work!

Byte Your Tongue is an amazing piece showcasing Kylie’s creativity through and through. From the sound bites, the visual design, and the choreography, every detail is crafted for some wonderful storytelling. Kylie’s athleticism and artistry really shine in the 30 minutes, especially with her powerful flow and floorwork. Would recommend to anyone attending Fringe!

Kylie is a super skilled dancer with tremendous stamina to maintain her high effort through out the entire 30 minutes. With an original soundtrack and visual art to add even more layers to this incredible piece this is a performance you should definitely go see. Kylies ninja moves mixed with her brilliant creative choreography will have you mesmerized.

I'm partially-sighted but love to watch dance. Usually, this is done through a screen so I can get as close as possible. Sitting in the front row at Bite Your Tongue was a true treat. I have to admit to not paying attention to the soundscape. I was too enraptured by Kylie's flexibility and fluidity.

I loved her work on Femmillennial, and I enjoyed this one! Definietly different with some improv alongside choreo, I loved the sound design and general ambience!

Byte Your Tongue, created an performed by Kylie Thompson, is a spellbinding, thought-provoking dance performance that will leave you thinking about the show long after you've left the theatre. Kylie is a brilliant dancer, clearly with substantial technical training and artistic talent. In Byte Your Tongue, we see her interpret a range of sound bytes which are played repeatedly in different speeds, with Kylie's physical interpretation changing to match each variation. These sound bytes range from Emma Stone's Academy Award acceptance speech for Poor Things, to Queen Elizabeth's Coronation speech. I believe there's also a sound bye from Absolutely Fabulous, but that's just a guess! I'm super curious about Kylie's process in curating these sound bytes. In the end, how your interpret Kylie's presenation is entirely up to you, the audience member. Kylie has such an engaging presence and her dancing is so tremendous, I was compelled the entire time. This is an excellent example of a talented dancer/choreographer using their craft to create something highly artistic.

Incredible!

The performance was visually stunning, creative with moments of humour, sarcasm, pain and grace. The performer (who commented that it was a mix of improvisation and set moves) led us through a series of moments fit to a compelling audio track in a refreshing and very creative manner.

I was enchanted and drawn in by the stunning dance, visual and sounds. AMAZING!

The performance got more and more intense as it went along.

Mind blown! literally! Such a lucky find!
