HAPPY PRIDE from someone who went clubbing for the

HAPPY PRIDE from someone who went clubbing for the first time in two years last night. 🌈✨
Two years, almost to the day, on the same dancefloor, since being at @bolloxclub for Pride 2019. Not knowing what lay ahead of us all. And now it's two years on + like wise @alicegodliman said last night, "I feel like an entirely different person since then." And yet. Some things don't change. Queer spaces, faces, community, family. I am forever grateful that despite everything (inc all the problematic af aspects of 'official' Manc pride) that I have access to this community of artists / activists / punks/ witches/ weirdos/ queer creative dancer dreamers so fiercely committed to protecting, celebrating + continuing the protest legacy of pride. I am grateful for alt spaces + @hexthedj on the decks, for body inclusivity + sex positivity + being able to go out + dance to My Chemical Romance in a see-thru leopardprint swimming costume. Years have passed + we're not the same but I am so thankful for queer survival + celebration + waking up with glitter everywhere. 💖

Thank you @sophiebroadgate for being the best damn director + film-maker around. 💖📽️
Lived my absolute rockstar fantasy today shooting some videos of my performance pieces (with the help of amazing extras @fiona_ledgard_personal_trainer @joseyxmarina + Emily), dead excited to share the results with you all very soon!
Feels v fitting to have spent the Pride Friday wearing holographic leopardprint in a toilet being beautifully lit by this appropriately bisexual lighting. 🌈✨

THIS SATURDAY (21st Aug)✨📒
⠀
I'll be back at @peoplepoweredpress in Saltaire, taking over their beautiful purpose-built @saltsworks workshop space for a 3-hour session on creative writing for self-care. Open to all genders, backgrounds + experience levels, it doesn't matter if you're already an avid author, secret bedroom scribbler or haven't picked up a pen since school.
⠀
Together, we'll look at techniques + tools for using writing to support your wellbeing, in the session + beyond, including:
➰ approaches to reflective and expressive writing
➰ exploring memory, place and past experience
➰ writing as a form of mindfulness
➰ writing as a form of escapism and play
⠀
Having attended PPP workshops previously, I can promise they'll keep us well-fuelled with coffee + cake, and if the ticket price (£40) isn't financially accessible for you but you still want to come, please DM me - I've been allocated a small number of subsidised spaces for those who couldn't otherwise afford them. See you there? 💖

GIRLS' NIGHT OUT ✨💕
Excited (and a bit terrified) to be doing my FIRST LIVE SET SINCE FEB 2020, taking place THIS FRIDAY as part of @girlgangmcr's Girls' Night Out at @hopemilltheatre's Hope Fest. There's an outdoor stage, socially distanced seating, and a cracking line-up of dance, performance, spoken word + all sorts of other exciting happenings. All genders welcome, I'd love to see some familiar faces in the audience if you fancy it - it's been so long since I've been on a stage! BUT I've been practising in my bedroom + I've got a good sparkly dress so grab yr tickets while you can + see you on Friday?! See @girlgangmcr for the full line-up + ticket details. 🎊🌠
