Who are you?
Hi I’m Red Roses!
What’s your project?
I’m a composer, writer and performer! I’m writing a new musical called Red Roses and producing a new cabaret night called Sapphic Secrets with the legend that is Loui Von Dini!
What’s your gender identity?
I’m agender femme.
She/they/he
How does your queerness influence your art?
Queerness is everything!! The musical is about an alien who comes to earth with a challenge to create Equality. Sounds deep. It’s full on comedy. It’s needed!
Has your artistic creation changed through the struggles of the Covid years?
Covid has had a huge impact on all my work. I was directing musicals in China when covid hit and was one of the first to catch it and develop severe Long Covid which has left me physically disabled. I lost speech, movement, sight, extreme pain the full works. Playing piano helped my recovering initially as did other treatments and 2 years and 10 months on I’m now navigating what I can still do on stage as I make my return. And I am so excited to be able to say that finally!
When is your next event ?
