BURLESQUE NOIR

BURLESQUE NOIR

I’ve always been deeply drawn to opposite ends of the spectrum.
I’m sure a lot of you can relate when I say I have two “wolves” inside of me and it’s these two (💀🖤🩸) (🦚💖💎)

I had something I wanted to say with my body, it came from deep inside, and it wasn’t glamorous. I was angry, I was hurt, and I was desperate to exercise (yes, not exorcise) the beast within. I was driven by a lust to bask in my darkness and play with my demons.

I created using my flesh, and my blood, and my tears, using my skin to stir the ether around me, transmuting the story from within. Shedding layers to expose hidden chapters.

Fast forward a few (or so) years, and I found myself crawling out of the dark places that fuelled that art.

As a flood of worth that I’d not felt in many years began lightening my heart, I began drawing closer to the glamour and the (subsequent) gaze that comes with being a showgirl. Not that this was new to me, I had been a stribbing showgirl for many years.

I also realised I was seen/heard and loved by members of the burlesque community, for BOTH of the “wolves” inside of me.
However, there was still rarely an opportunity to let both wolves off their leash in separate capacities, in one sitting.

So I created Burlesque Noir.
Because I KNOW there are so many of you who also love the contrasting duality that lives inside of us, each one screaming into it’s extremes.

I’m so excited about this show, I have strived to create a platform where burlesque artists can explore polarising performances while also given the opportunity to receive feedback and develop their acts with the support of myself as a mentor.
I’ll be in the audience too as I take a year off from performing following my spinal surgery. I am SO excited to watch from within the audience because this event is one of my absolute favourites. You can get your tickets from the button below, I hope to see you there!
