The Cheek of It! Showtime Course!

I'm very excited to be back in a dance studio and learning the ways of burlesque dancing! The course I'm on is with The Cheek of It! and is an 8 week whirlwind of costumes, character, glitter and sauciness, taught by the fabulous Trixibelle Firecracker!
Each week I'll update the post with what I got up to in class and any naughty pictures I take!
I will be dancing in a class troupe at our graduation show on Madame JoJo's stage in The Cheek of It! Easter show! March 31st - BUY TICKETS HERE!

Studio Update!

Evening all!

I felt as though I should write up a post with plenty of pictures about the work I've been making in the studio over the last few months. I realise I haven't made a post about my work for a long time, but since I started my final year, I've been through some really challenging times, both in the development of my work and in my personal life. Coming to terms with both has been really difficult, and I'm still working through the personal stuff, but I've never been more confident with my art practice and my subject matter!

What Am I Fighting For?

For the past couple of weeks I've been putting together my critical studies essay contexualising my art practice, and I'm still working on it now, but along the way I've been able to work through a lot of unclarified thoughts that have led me to want to write this post and get it off my chest.
