#nonbinary dancer

Barre carefully positioned to hide the fact that my brand new leggings ripped at the crotch doing grands jetés at class the other day, which is honestly just incredibly rude of them.

This was my first full class back in... a while; I had to take it easy throughout the autumn because I was recovering from COVID and was avoiding cardio. The Coppélia auditions I did that I posted about a few weeks ago were the only time I did a full class without skipping allegro, and being an audition, it was a bit slower, with more waiting around learning things. Otherwise, I was only doing partial classes and pas de deux the whole time, so this was my first full 1.5-hour class, allegro included. My heartrate was in the peak range throughout, because apparently my cardio fitness is BAD these days. Hoping to work on that over the next couple of months.

Still wearing a mask to class, even though it gets gross and sweaty, to try and avoid a repeat of the COVID that wrecked my fitness in the first place! Coppélia rehearsals start in a couple of weeks and it looks like I'll be spending most of my weekends at the studio, so I'll either be posting here more, or not at all.

I dedicate this piece to all of the motherfuckers in this cis, heteronormative sport who ever made me feel like there was no space for someone like me, a trans man, in dance.

There is a space for EVERYONE.

I love my sport. I hate you :)

Be the representation you want to see 🏳️‍⚧️

That was the phrase that popped into my head when I saw these beautiful shots from @denyerpro when I did a photoshoot at @addictivefitness.co.uk

Pole dancing has improved my physical and mental health but it also helped relieve some of my gender dysphoria by being able to be unapologetically me, I know other trans+ people also enjoy pole dancing but we are never represented in pole dancing spaces (and don’t get me started on trans s*x workers and people of colour in this space being unrepresented too!) so this trans awareness week let’s celebrate the under represented by being unapologetically our beautiful, powerful trans selves 🥰🏳️‍⚧️💕

lambert in a dancer's cloak. is that anything

Something something Judith Butler gender is created through repeated actions but also I really appreciate the uni ballet society's no-fuss approach to gender when it comes to their shows. When I started performing with them in 2015, it was all done on assigned gender, and the first time I asked if I could dance the male part, in 2018, it was kinda awkward. Now it's just, 'What costume do you want?' and checking in with the teacher choreographing your section to make sure they're giving you the right arm positions, or whatever.

Putting on my face for spicy club work is so funny, because the lights sort of smooth everything out/make a lot of eyeshadow moot.

any extra whatever i wear is for me and the girls.

that said, am def feeling very inhumanly beautamous since i dyed my hair blue again. and I have a new outfit! yay outfit

Kite Beauregard from Train Track Princes. They have one line, and it’s “Oof.” Now I’m dangerously close to giving them their own book.

It would be number four in the TTP universe. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is an older piece of mine from when I first started digital art. I look at it now and see so many mistakes lol.

I am working on building a website, but I can currently can be found on instagram and Pinterest under caioliviacreations. 💜

Much love & joy to all.

The tension of being an "artist with a marginalized identity"

[Tl;dr Sometimes I struggle between the balance between honoring my identities and simply just enjoying dance because it is complicated.] Hi, my name is Jo. I’m a Jewish, physically disabled, neurodivergent, trans aroace Irish dancer and creator. This is how artistic bios and introductions read these days. Mine too. It’s a complicated thing. But, as I read more and more bios from “multiply…
