I usually prefer to watch company class over a performance, unless they're branching out from fairy stories and misogyny, and then it can be breathtaking.

I have enough ballet in me that strangers stop to comment on the way I move, but I lack the strength of the important details only dancers see.

I know this feeling well. I pine for the subtleties of the feet and turnout and adage of a pro, but have never had the desire to be in a ballet or live that life.

I want to take exquisite tendus and épaulement onto cabaret stages, and not even care whether anyone else notices the details.

If Tim Curry narrates the audiobook of his memoir, I may listen to it on repeat forever.

We were already aware, but it's lovely that you're joining the party.

People like this make me so paranoid I'll put my foot in my mouth with such arrogant confidence, that I have to triple-check everything before I ever open my mouth. 4/

The last thing I need is a thieving waste of natural resources generating lists of gibberish for me.

Thank you 🖤 Brig is such a wonderful artist.

Someone from the Power's events team got in touch via linkedin, and I feel as though she just saw the word contortion and assumed it'd be something pretty and sparkly. Even if they'd wanted weird though, I won't perform for a room full of men 😬

BTN is a staple for Australian kids. It has a lot of local content, but probably has enough international stories to keep your kid busy for a while.

Oh, ritualised leisure is a stunning concept that I definitely need in my life, thank you!

They can join the pile with the dancers who don't give any workshop description and expect you to sign up based on their name alone. It doesn't matter how much I love your work, if you can't even give me an idea of your workshop content, I won't be there.

'Tilda is Visible' by Jane Tara and 'Libby Lost and Found' by Stephanie Booth were fun, unexpected, and told from interesting angles.

Becky Chambers' 'Monk and Robot' series was my favourite discovery of the year and I want to climb inside it and live there.
