  • Coming soon to Melbourne: Oct 7-11

  • Fringe Festivals can be pretty scary. They’re a hu Fringe Festivals can be pretty scary. They’re a huge risk - financially, of course, but also physically, mentally, emotionally… especially when you’re getting onstage alone for an hour, with the hope that your story will make people feel laughter, joy, and celebration. So you bring a pole as well, just in case… Tickets for THE POLE SHEBANG at @sydneyfringe are on sale now! ____ What’s a Fringe Festival? Thank you for asking! It’s a non-curated alternative theatre festival that happens in cites all over the world - including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide (and more) - meaning there is no juried selection process and indie artists (like me) can just go hire a venue and put on a show! It’s an exciting opportunity to see lots of experimental, non-traditional, and sometimes completely unhinged live performance, so be sure to see as much as you can while it’s in town! Love Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Steve, & @faouzia
    🤩 NATASHA SPLIT 🤩 So many splits, what the heck to 🤩 NATASHA SPLIT 🤩 So many splits, what the heck to call them?! This elbow instep split was inspired by a then & now post by @natashawangpole - I love how many of us look longingly at our own old videos, but I love even more that we’re not afraid to try again, even though our bodies are different now. We’re still having fun! I’ve got six more weeks of Flexy Strong Fridays before I head on tour for THE POLE SHEBANG at @sydneyfringe, so get in quick for all the fun 🥳
    🐣 BABY SPATCHCOCK Have you tried Cheba Split yet? 🐣 BABY SPATCHCOCK Have you tried Cheba Split yet? It has all the same grip points as this Baby Spatchcock - so if you’re into variations, go find it on my profile! This Baby Spatch is the perfect regression for anyone not quite ready to pancake their way into a full Spatch yet - and that’s what we love about variations - there’s something for everyone! I’ve only got a handful of weeks left for teaching my Tricksy Tuesdays & Flexy Strong Fridays - before I head to Melbourne & Sydney for another tour of THE POLE SHEBANG! So get in quick, let’s go, let’s gooooooo!! 💥
    🍁 CHEBA SPLIT 🍁 If you love elbow grips, this one 🍁 CHEBA SPLIT 🍁 If you love elbow grips, this one is for you! And if Spatchcock is on your hit list, but your pancakes are not quite ready for maple syrup, then insert Mini Spatchcock into your recipe - it has all the same ingredients as this Cheba Split too. It’s that spicy pattern recognition thing I do, where all tricks fit into a lattice in my brain - so if there’s a trick you want, I can probably tell you a bunch of related tricks to help get you there! And that’s what we do in Tricksy Tuesdays & Flexy Strong Fridays 🤓

Trans women are women. ______ 👿 AGGRESSIVE EXPRESSIVE Finally figured out what to call this style! The regressions were to just take out all the extra turns & details and just keep moving. Left foot right foot left foot right foot lol I haven’t taught chorey in many months and gosh, I’ve missed it. My day was certainly made by having a dozen babes in heels ready to smash it out! Until next time… 😘
    👰🏻‍♀️ UNETHICAL 👰🏻‍♀️ What’s the most number of ti 👰🏻‍♀️ UNETHICAL 👰🏻‍♀️ What’s the most number of times you’ve ever listened to a song in one day? This song came up on my feed about a week ago, and then like everyday since because I could not resist watching it repeatedly every time. It’s one of those rare songs that’s even more amazing in her live videos, and I listened to it about 30 times yesterday. The studio version is 3 minutes 40 seconds long, so that’s almost two hours of listening to it on repeat - and when I wasn’t dancing to it, I was karaoke-ing it in my car. And the feeling that this kind of music gives me - that this kind of art gives me - is what makes me want to create. It’s what drives me to dance and make theatre. It’s the hope that you’ll come to see THE POLE SHEBANG and maybe get some of that feeling for yourself…
