I’ve done it, I’ve made a little edit of the hair-hanging act I premiered at the @2faceddance gala night - a night to raise money for the dance company I started with (please check them out, they are so important)
With thanks to:
Big boi and the smoooothest lifter, holding my little life in his hands - @louispe13
Lighting genie @jameszoo1343 for making me look spectacular
@tamsin35 for having me - and telling me to go to circus school all those years ago ☺️
And the rest of the 2 Faced and @courtyard_arts crew (and Circomedia for the beautiful 3:1 🫶🏻)
