This is pretty strange & funny from the Hot Ice website:
"topped off with an Act 1 finale from Swan Lake with bare-chested men and beautiful white plumed women. Very hetero-normative full throttle family entertainment that is unforgettable!"

I’m very proud to share this little project with you.is one of my favourite songs by my favourite artist and I wanted to express how it makes me feel. This past year was a major transition for me that brought about major change in my life. After feeling lost and uncertain about which direction I needed to go I feel like I’ve arrived to a new place and am at a new beginning. So I’ve titled this little project ‘Arrival’.
I want to thank Julie Marcotte and Jordan Cowan for sharing in the creative process. It was a real pleasure.
