Currently undergoing professional contemporary training but also skilled in cabaret/burlesque/pole/podium/cage and a trained aerialist acrobat; disciplines - cerceau, corde lisse, trapeze.
About me: Lady Lipperella is an mysterious character, at times illusive, this silk ribbon whirling, venetian parasole twirling temptress is to be found in only the most elegant nightspots. Slick and dangerously provocative, she is a femme fatale without disguise, smoldering before audiences as she performs her innovative variety of vintage cabaret.
Dance is her speciality, often appearing as a burlesque dame, but she also has an interest in experimental performance where she performs in a wide variety of contexts.
She has also modelled extensively over the past 4 years for various young designers and up and coming companies.
She has worked in collaboration with fellow artists Maleficiant Martini, Dangerous Dolly, Urdigital, Casino Tiff and Poppy Cock. She has performed under the direction of Deborah Pope (Circus Oz), Pavel Rudanovsky (The Unfashion Show) and designer/stylist Stefan Orschel-Read as well as modelling for ThreadMe clothing company, Pavel Rudanovsky inc, Dan Medhurst and designers AMF Corsets and Libby Rose
amongst others at 2008 Passion Expo, Earls Court 1.
As a one of the original line-up of Linus Twizzle's Sleazy Speakeasy, the pioneers of burlesque in Leeds, she has gone on to perform at SpeedQueen, The Texas Chainsaw Travelling Horror Picture Show, The Kerrang Awards 2007, The Leeds Burlesque fashion show, Leeds Erotica Festival and is soon to be appearing at The Waterfront Festival and The Secret Garden Party.
