Dr Carnsky's Radial Cabaret - The showcase origin story

Before you become immersed into the radical world of Cabaret during Dr Carnesky's Radical Cabaret showcase, let us take a look at behind the scenes of this wondrous event!

 

Dr Carnesky's Radical Cabaret school was delivered in collaboration with Tramshed's Progression programme of artist development.

 

Who is Dr Carnesky?

Marisa Carr better known as Marisa Carnesky is a British live artist and showwoman. Marisa uses spectacular entertainment forms whilst drawing on themes of contemporary ritual to investigate social issues from an ecofeminist perspective. In 2004 Dr Carnesky founded Carnesky Productions, which is a performance and theatre company responsible for original large and small scale interactive performance works.

Dr Carnesky has won many awards, including the Laurence Olivier for Best Entertainment and Time Out Best Theatre in 2004 as well as Edinburgh Festival Herald Angel in 2005.

Creds. 

Marisa Carnesky continues to break new ground, inspire new artists and be a revolutionary figure in the arts & cabaret world.

 

What is Dr Carnesky's Radical Cabaret showcase?

Dr Carnesky's Radical Cabaret school has collaborated with Tramshed to inspire, instruct and showcase radical new and emerging talents. The school has run for 3 terms during its Tramshed era and this month marks the third. On the 8th and 22nd, we will witness both a live and online showcasing of the creative and revolutionary products of the cabaret school. We are so excited to see the wonderful and taboo-breaking acts the participants have created. During the live show, we will be treated to a performance by 2010 Radical Cabaret graduate MisSa who is an iconic variety star, international recognised sword swallower, singer, poet and exhibited artist. She will be performing excerpts of her current touring solo show “Black Sheep”, you really don't want to miss it!!! Link here
