City: Berlin, Germany

I am a Canadian-born, Berlin-based queer performance artist. Fascinated by the idea of intimacy, embodied experience and the language of movement, I experiment with how to assert and perform gender roles and break labels in regards to sexuality. I have performed all over Europe, Canada and the United States in circus and burlesque shows including Festival Montréal Complètement Cirque, Copenhagen Opera Festival, The Chicago Art Institute, and Stockholm Burlesque Festival.

City: Bristol, UK

I run my own festival in the UK (Come Bye) and I'm led to believe that The Palace has a very similar ethos. Having only heard good things I wanted to come and check it out for myself. Event production and DJing are two passions of mine that I plan to contribute. Also, I'm pretty sure the hokey pokey is what it's all about? but don't quote me on it. I’m particularly interested in collaborating with spoken word artists to perform over the top of a live DJ set - like a flow of consciousness. I'm also developing an app that will gamify sexual health education and would love to connect with:

- People with start-up experience

- Anyone who has a passion for improving sex education

- Any tech people with experience in developing mobile games and/or apps.

City: Helsinki, Finland

I am a Helsinki-based artist from St.Petersburg. In my practice work primarily with the moving image, performance on camera. Humour is often part of my works. I am also interested in filmmaker, combining directing, scriptwriting and art directing of fiction cinema. My passion lies in exploring the genre of giallo and camp horror and how to subverse the genre and its male gaze. ​I also do embroidery and set design. "I love collaborating and spontaneous ideas fueled by passion that can get you working out of your usual medium - so I am up for many things! For personal project, I wish to find actors and performers to film a short extravaganza and be a performer for someone else's project. I am also a big fashion and vintage fan, so my clothes will occupy half of my bed probably.
