    Cute But Psycho sits somewhere between a piece of autobiographical Performance Art, a low-budget Musical, and a Hallucinogenic Disco. Exploring the magnetic beauty and the mind-altering struggle of psychosis, Cute But Psycho asks what happens when a spiritual awakening and mental illness collide with an approach to recovery dominated by the medical model.

    A comedic, story-led piece littered with original songs, precise yet peculiar dance routines, and an abundance of characters to lead you through a personal account that seeks to answer what we can take from such a collision. Expect a show that is as exposing and messy as it is fun and ridiculous.

    Cute But Psycho is written and created by Katherine Vince, based on her own experience, co-directed by Paul Andrew Goldsmith and Katherine Vince, and produced by their company Twisted Reality Productions.

    Cute But Psycho features four original songs with Original Music by composer Robin Forrest (Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens) with Lyrics and Melodies by Katherine Vince.

    THE REVIEWS HUB on Balancing Acts
    "Vince is a dedicated and fluid performer, who allows the audience to seamlessly enter into the world of each individual, as she interprets their testimony."
    MENTAL MOVEMENT MAGAZINE o Balancing Acts
    "It is through Vince’s bodily performance that we experience the balancer’s behaviour, reactions and the unsaid"
    DISABILITY ARTS ONLINE on Balancing Acts
    "Vince is engrossed in her performance from the beginning, and really makes this piece what it is. She is effortless, and takes on each new individual’s story effectively through her physicality... This piece is honest, open and well executed."

    "Companies like us genuinely would not be making theatre if it was not for the ability of CPT and its team to identify artists who are worth taking a chance on."
