Puppik Dance
Performance works
Justine Reeve (also known as Puppik) creates bold and thought-provoking dance theatre that delves into the complexities and contradictions of the human condition. Her work explores the unhinged, the mischievous, and the deeply poignant, often through a playful yet insightful lens. Aimed primarily at audiences aged 11–18, these performances are designed to deepen appreciation of dance, spark creative thinking, and inspire young people’s own choreographic ideas.
Her work is defined by a distinctive blend of fluid, gestural movement, natural repetition, and a strong dramatic presence, often incorporating voice, character, and direct engagement with the audience. Justine continually explores the relationship between movement, text, film, music, and comedy, using these elements to create layered, dynamic, and expressive performance worlds.
She values the unique qualities each performer brings, often weaving their contributions into the fabric of the work. Through improvisation tasks, choreographic structures, and shared exploration, she shapes pieces that are rich in authenticity and human connection.
