Where are you from and are you based in London?
I’m originally from Holland but have been living abroad for 20 years and am now based in London.

What’s your favourite memory or experience of Berlin and have you performed there?
This will be my first time at the Berlin Berlin event at Egg London and I’m really looking forward to it.

If so could you please recount your favourite club experience and why?
I have enjoyed so many great memories with my club performances as I love the dressing up, the drama and the excitement of club life.

How will you incorporate the Berlin style into your performance at the BB party at Egg Ldn?
I will be showcasing my body piercing acts - one which is medically themed and called ‘Asylum’, and another called ‘BlackBird’, which are both big dramatic fun performances that will suit this exuberant night. I am looking forward to being part of the Berlin Berlin night!

Do you identity with the Berlin Tanzbar scene of the 20s or do you prefer the performance scene of 2016?
I prefer the current times hahahaha…I am not really a vintage style performer.

Where do you get your ideas for your shows from?
It depends on the show, each one is different and I pick different characters and choose music and costumes to fit with the particular character. I am inspired by so many things from costumes, to art and of course, history

For people that have never seen your performance, what can they expect on the night?
I combine fetish with performance art, mixing in a bit of cabaret too so it’s a real costume drama - lol :-)
