With Neon Dance and Sweet Boy

The Cultural Connector opportunity has been such a blessing, providing space for me to create a self led costume piece and spend important time networking and communicating with other North East based creatives. I also had the pleasure of attending the Newcastle performance of Neon Dance's ‘Last and First Men’ at Dance City Newcastle was truly inspiring and provided a great jumping off point for my own creative response. Big thanks to Neon Dance for their time and guidance.

I’d also love to thank Sweet Boy for their kindness, insight and general wonderful-ness. The look and images we’ve created are just what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Sweet was my first choice for this project and I was so happy to get to pick their brains and gain insight into their drag, learn more about the Newcastle scene and get creative together.
