‘Don’t Dream It. Be It’
I grew up listening to Dolly but I discovered Tim on my own, more specifically Frank-n-Furter, one New Years Eve when I think I was about 11 or 12. Adults asleep in front of the tv as Big Ben interrupted the Floor Show of Rocky Horror Picture Show. I then spotted Tim Curry in other things, each role proving what an amazing actor he was, but my first Tim Curry love was Frank. The film and Tim explained a lot to me about my life growing up in an alternative street carnival community theatre company. It made sense, my weird and wonderful existence with all the fabulous people I loved made sense. Then there was the first time I showed it to my best friends, the Sealed Knot costume night with the Czech Regiment on drums, my 18th Sing-a-Long where all my friends dressed up and one incredible blonde Frank was born, ‘jump to the left’ our first wedding dance, then celebrating our 20th anniversary at the 50th screening, and now I am reading Tim’s Autobiography (highly recommend!).
This years has been brutal with Giles (Anthony Head), Moira (Catherine O’Hara), Dolly Parton… but Tim Curry particularly hit me hard.

Thank you to and for the screening online of ‘Learning to be Naked: Healing Through Burlesque’. Incredible film - brilliantly beautiful, sensitive, insightful, motivating and radically joyful. The opportunity to watch it has been extended to 2nd Aug.
Been quiet over here, funnily enough doing what the film promotes, slowly getting back on that creative performance AND academic bandwagon with a few things behind the scenes.
Hope to bring to you some fun things soon…

Raw, unedited, feel the fear and do it anyway! I love everything to do with circus and don’t why it took me so long to get into an aerial hoop. So when I had the opportunity to have a private session with at I jumped on it and it was absolutely BRILLIANT! Roxie was an awesome teacher - fun and felt safe to go outside my comfort zone - Thank you Roxie, and no doubt I will be back!
Try everything once,

🙌 Support Local Shows 🙌
It’s tough out there for a whole host of reasons but supporting your ‘smaller’ local shows and artists puts smiles on SO MANY faces! Including yours!!!
It was hot, it was sweaty, it was sticky and that had nothing to do with the heatwave but everything to do with the stellar HOT talented cast! We all had a blast at Follies and Frills Burlesque last weekend 💖
Support local shows, spread the love, share on socials, buy a ticket, can’t go? If you can buy a ‘pay it forward’ ticket to help someone else go. Every little bit helps support these fabulous people and their magic for making us smile.
