La Dame Derriere she/they
How did you find yourself on this career path?
I always wanted to be a performer. I grew up singing and doing musical theatre and when I got older I ended up studying opera at university. Afterwards young burnt out and craving some sort of performance outlet I fell into performing with drag artists and slowly found my way to burlesque. I loved how much artistic autonomy and creative freedom lives in burlesque. I get to create my own little world onstage. I truly have never looked back and its been nearly nine yearsWhat fills your cup?
I love a good floor show. When Im in the pocket and the audience is with me it feels like absolute magic and I just want to do it again and again and again. What is alternate universe YOU doing right now?
In my fantasy alternate universe capitalism doesnt exist and I have the time and freedom to just exist as an artist. So altDame is probably hanging out with their partner and rhinestoning a grand new costume on a beach somewhere.Did you ever have/do you have a signature 'schtick'?
Apparently Im known for licking everything. Last year my partner surprised me with a 30th birthday show where my friends all performed tribute acts to me and every single one of them did my lick and flick so I guess thats what Im known for
