During my recent trip to the USA, I was delighted to be included in the line up for Bushwick Burlesque, no doubt one of New York’s most colourful and infamous burlesque nights, which specialises in the weird and unusual. Dodge the piles of garbage and try not to trip over the homeless and you’ll reach the Bushwick Bizarre. A cozy place …
What do you get when you take a dairy farm, a bunch of performance artists and several thousand hipsters at a dress up party? The wonderful thing that is Secret Garden Festival. I was blown away by how gorgeous the property and site was, it was delight to explore little fairy lit pathways through the rain forest, silk draped grottoes …

If you are traipsing around in your animal onesie / stripey pajamas and you catch me on one of the performance stages be sure to come over and say “oh hai!” Secret Garden Festival burlesque / puppetry …
Admittedly I have been a bit lax due to the usual end of year chaos! But I now promise you I shall be catching up with updates, pictures and videos from December’s antics. The festival season was well and truly upon us, with Geronimo and myself bring the epic doof, Subsonic Festival a healthy dose of higgledy piggledy burlesque. Why …

I’ll be doing some puppetry and a bit of burlesque at these two very exciting endeavours! Friday 04 April 2014 – 6-9pm Smart …
I created a second routine for Regrowth Festival’s Saturday night on the Treetop Stage. Inspired by the bush setting, and the presence of some mildly annoying wilderness society charity muggers, I donned a koala suit. For those now confused readers outside of Australia, let me fill you in. About 10 years ago there was a proliferation of sad looking koalas …
I joined a few thousand hippies to dance in the sprinkling rain in Braidwood at the beginning of the month. Amongst the luscious trees the bass boomed and hips gyrated. For the occasion I created two brand new routines, both animal themed to blend in with the wilderness. On the Friday night I was a snake with a taste for …
Wow! I know we all say it every year, but it’s hard to believe that its the end of January already. After a very full and fulfilling 2013, I feel exhausted already. We certainly were busy! Nonetheless, taking a look back puts a smile on my face.
Here is a ‘cheer up’ artwork I sent to my old friend Geronimo whilst she was off in the Philippines. I’ve designed it in the hopes that it will one day be transformed into a tattoo! Its my take on a sacred heart, mashed up with the rabbit motif that we use in our burlesque routine. ‘Mi corazon’ means ‘my …
