The Concept
Originally visioned as a film project, Queen of the Sky came to life because of the brilliant designs of Craig Baurley, who invited Anne-Marie and Jones into the movement development of two test dance films. We are very excited to now create the LIVE STAGE version of this project after we successfully completed and released the “Queen of the Sky Demo” and festival-winner “SOS - Save Your Self”, these prequels involving the main characters, which you can see by clicking on the links above.

The Work Ahead
The completed project will combine the grace of dance with the terror of horror, but the video demo took us only part way.
What still needs to be done:
$5000 - Theater Rental Deposit
$2000 - Preliminary Costume Design
$2000 - Preliminary Visual FX Design

The Story
“Queen of the Sky: A Demon Ballet” is the story of growing love between Aelia (a young and glamorous pilot) and her childhood friend, Fred (a recluse photographer and naval navigator). As love blooms in their adult life, they face a cataclysmic challenge to survival, a deadly mashup of ancient demon lore and brazen nuclear testing. On a toxic island, they encounter a hive-mind creature, a pack of mutated humanoids that conglomerate into one body under one sinister mind. The pack Alpha sees the heroine, and rallies all his creatures to capture a new member, resulting in an epic battle.
