Love at First Fight

Sing, dance and laugh your way through relationships at The Kalk Bay Theatre

Love at First Fight is taking place from 23rd March to 9th April 2011, and is a fun rollercoaster ride through the trials, tribulations and titillations of relationships.

Described as ‘ a must see’, the show is written and performed by the dynamic husband and wife duo Vanessa Harris and Ash Searle, and presented by their award-winning company Follow Spot Productions.  Love at First Fight sees them display their immeasurable talents as they sing, dance, (mis)communicate and negotiate about how to make love work.

Searle is a technically trained dancer who has performed all over the world and locally, in an array of shows from African Footprint to Chicago, Fame and We Will Rock You.  He has danced and choreographed for many corporate functions including Bidvest, the SAMA awards and Miss World. Through Follow Spot Productions, he develops his style of choreography that blends comedy, theatre and dance to create a crowd-pleasing genre of live entertainment. 

Vanessa Harris has been performing from a young age and has appeared in numerous productions such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fangs – the musical, Fusion, The Buddy Holly story and playing the part of Wendy in the pantomime Peter Pan. She spent six months performing in Asia with the touring cast of We Will Rock You – the Queen Musical and was seen on South African movie screens as the female lead in the late Bill Flynn’s comedy Running Riot.  

Director Bradley Searle is known in his own right as a dancer and entertainer with an effervescent style of performance.  Credits include Footloose the Musical, and - with brother Ashley - a country-wide tour in Big Boys Don’t Dance, a two-hander comedy and dance show which won them a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the 2010 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. 

Kalk Bay Theatre’s owner Simon Cooper says, “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cringe in recognition at this unmissable feel-good comedy!”
