“…mediumship is about calling on the voices of other people… either listening to them or allowing them to inhabit you. This is what I’m really excited to find out with burlesque.” Shea Day Sullivan and I sat in Pizza Express, underscored by the sound of the Jazz speakeasy below. We talked about her family lineage in burlesque. Read the full article on Substack, or listen to me read it for you :) Photo by Karolina Kai

Woohoo! Thank you for your interest in The Cabaret Dispatch. This is a substack I’m building to share wonderful stories with you about marvellous art 🗞️ The May Edition Includes: 👻 A fabulous interview with burlesque medium @sheasullivanstudio 📋 A curated list of May events that caught my eye 🩰 And, my original article The Shadowbanned Showgirl, an opener to this Substack where I reflect on algorithms and artists. COMING LATER THIS MONTH… 🔥 Some hot tips with the queen of socials @ezmepump 👠 Have a read, and subscribe through Substack so we can all spend less time on our phones ❤️ Figuring this out as I go 😌

Welcome to The Cabaret Dispatch. I want to start this project to create a community forum that doesn’t rely exclusively on platforms we have no ownership of to discover and promote events. It would be amazing to have you subscribe while we build out audience for our first Newsletter going out after April 30th. The more people we have in this space, the more audience we have to share our work with. I would love to have my morning coffee, and open a page to read all the wonderful events happening in London without then doomscrolling for 2 hours. I would love to promote an event and know there is something accessible I can do other than spend money boosting my posts on META! Does that sound like you? Then subscribe for free and submit your events (check highlights!) let’s get this house in order! - Kit
