Striking performance poetry, disarming comedy, and a celebration of gender fluidity from a Transwoman playfully establishing her voice.Dont let the world put you in a box, but do reserve the right to make an exhibition of yourself!AlicedLumiereAlicedLumieregenerally prefers to go unnoticed; she yearns to be an ordinary person on the train, or in the supermarket. Shes happy to be anonymous; a sensible, middle-aged woman. However, shes also a writer, an actor and a performance artist; andthereforecursed with an occasional, but irresistible desire to speak up, stand out and beutterly unmissable!Alice is also gender fluid and for her existing as a part-time Transwoman makes everyday life a complex, but intriguing adventureSpeaking Out and FittingIn is asolo showin striking performance poetry and disarmingcomedy, with flashes of cabaret and burlesque, in which Alice playfully explores the wonderful, if occasionally counter-intuitive, position of the gender-fluid individual striving to both fit in to another gender whilst yearning to establish a unique, personal voice forthemselves.The show began when Alice was asked to loan one of her performance dresses to aMuseum; a privilege she thought was reserved for the deceased and royalty; she then ended that year performing in public as a live Christmas Fairy. This is acelebratorypiece about how delightfully queer life can be when you decide to step beyond your birth gender.WARNING: THIS SHOW MAY CONTAIN STOCKINGED LEGS AND TROCHAIC FEET!
