Roisin Crowley Linton is creating a brand new cabaret called Not Yours and she wants YOU to join in

We truly believe that burlesque is for everybody, in every body and to prove it, we are inviting you to join us to create a brand new burlesque troupe for all experience levels. Whether you danced when you were younger, and life got in the way, or if you’re always the first one up on the dancefloor, or if the idea of being the centre of attention terrifies and excites you in equal measure – we are ready to welcome you to join our troupe. Build up your skills & confidence and take part in a show alongside professional performers.

You can come on your own or bring a friend, either way you will leave the experience having found a new community. For an example of work Roisin has done with a similar project please see this BBC video:

What will you do in the sessions?

  • Increase self-confidence
  • Develop dance and movement skills
  • Find a community of like-minded people
  • Learn a burlesque routine and perform alongside a professional cast in a show at ARC, Stockton!

Who are we looking for?

  • Someone looking to try a new skill, or build up existing ones
  • Someone looking to reclaim their body, sexuality and self-confidence
  • Someone who has lived experience of sexual violence, harassment or abuse at any point in their life.
  • Someone who feels ready to use movement as a tool to empower themselves, this is NOT therapy but we’re all on a journey towards healing.
  • These workshops are LGBTQIA+ and gender inclusive, body neutral and a safe space for those who have experienced sexual violence at some point in their life.

What do we mean by sexual violence?

We know this term can feel big, scary and difficult to identify with for some people. We define this as any kind of unwanted sexual behaviours, touch or harassment – you are in charge of your own identification, and narrative of your experience.

You do not have to disclose any of your experiences to join this troupe and we will not question, or ask you to justify your experience in any way.

Our own experiences will not be a point of discussion during our rehearsal process.

We are pushing back on the idea of being a “victim” and we will not be censored.

All members will receive £30 to cover travel costs across the sessions, and £30 to contribute towards costume for performance.

If you have any questions about the sessions, the show, or want to know a bit more information please contact [email protected] or give her a ring on 01642 665405

A bit about Not Yours

Not Yours is a show about the journey to recovery and everything that comes after experiencing sexual violence. Part theatre, part drag, part burlesque, part riot, part party – a celebration of perverting the idea of a victim being small, weak and cowering.

This is not really a show about sexual violence or abuse, it is a show about recovery, and recovery DOES exist, even when it feels like you have no idea how to get there. Wherever you are, at some point you have to get home. We would be tackling a heavy subject with joy, laughter, playfulness and rage.

Tickets for Not Yours will be Pay What You Decide.
