favorite warm-up song: Wow! That can be so dependent on how I'm feeling! “Movement” by Hozier is one that comes to mind in this particular moment.
favorite words to describe yourself/your stage persona?: A playful and sometimes dark creature who brings their silly, sassy and sensual nature into everything. With a mood and style as dynamic as their gender. And twerking... lots of twerking.
what does burlesque/erotic movement mean to you?: Freedom. To create, to express, to explore, to grow, to BE. Freedom to defy the norm and the expectation I've been raised being told to meet. It allows me to explore the whole spectrum of who I am and find the acceptance and love within myself for all the different flavors of my identity and personality. And maybe by continuing to learn to love myself and my body, even though some days it feels more challenging... then maybe that expression and embodiment can fuel the flow of inspiration and magick and change into the world.
what attracted you to being a part of our Troupe?: It feels like a really safe place to continue to explore myself as a performer. To support and build community with those who value and uplift diversity. To create queer magick, amplify it and then project it out into the world.
