The Lady Garden is a performance installation of live naked women, involving audience interaction and exploring ideas of the sexualised lens with which we look at women.

Performance seasons include:

• Winter edition, Understudy bar, BATS Out-of-site, August 2014
• Explicit: Implicit, The Porn Project, Auckland 2013
• NZ Fringe Festival, Matchbox Studios, Wellington 2013
• Debut season, Matchbox Studios, Wellington 2012

The Lady Garden was borne out of test performances entitled promiscuous makes an entrance, as part of S.A.M.P.L.E. (Some Artists Make Performance Laboratory Experiments), a year-long, Wellington-based, monthly performance art night curated by Alana Yee that has featured in Sydney and London since 2013.
