Sophie - Legs 11

LEGS 11.11

A classically trained dancer and professional actress, Legs 11.11 is big on telling a good story
and loves creating epic acts that blow her audience… (out of the water!) Has anyone ever seen
11.11 on a digital clock? When we see it, it makes us feel good, feel in the moment, feel like nothing else matters. Be sure to take note of how Legs 11.11 makes you feel. By being profoundly unique & quirky, she blinds her audience with some sexy slap stick, whilst subliminally encouraging one and all to throw down their weapons and dare to be one-one-one-one.

Sophie X Fuctor

OOLARLAR LULAR

Oolarlar Lular is blatantly unsexy, grotesque, wears the neck brace and is a complete and utter dag. She is totally loveable yet very, very wrong. She sees the world in a different light and we see her as a victim in a superficial, materialistic, unbalanced world. She aims to make her audiences feel uncomfortable and puts a finger up at an industry that doesn’t appreciate the unique individual. Her neck brace is her safety blanket and in all of her acts she is forced to take it off and transform into something stronger, sexier and alive. She should come across as me making political commentary of some sort, otherwise she should just give up and go home!

Sophie - Classic Burlesque

CLASSIC BURLESQUE

Sophie has a classic act inspired by the house wives of the 1950s. A housewife is going about her daily chores bored and is inspired by the African artefacts she is dusting. She dances around her house like an African woman. Inspired by the 1962 Italian film ‘Eclipse’, written and directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring Monica Vitti, and Sophie’s recent passion for African dance.
Sophie also has a 1950s cat routine with fur costume, mask and tail. Our cat growls at the audience and seduces them with her long tail… But a bird swoops in and distracts her. She catches it and eats it and then gets back to her audience for a tassel twirl finale.
Sophie’s newest creation is inspired by the sensational swinging 60s, it’s like she’s straight
out of the party scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Using music from James Bond, this is a powerful act that really draws from 1950s-60s classic burlesque stars such as Blaze Starr and Lili St Cyr. The costume is exquisite (pictured).

Oolarlar Lular Burlesque Act

OOLARLAR LULAR DOES XFUCTOR

Oolarlar Lular is feeling rather ‘special’ today. She has decided to build up the courage to audition for the Xfuctor! She listens to the Pretenders ‘I’m Special’ song through her disc man, mouthing the words and waits awkwardly in the green room. When she gets called in, she is put through the painful rigmarole of the ‘audition process’ for the first time. She comes across as innocent and yet incredibly stupid. The judges scrutinise her every move and mock her in her attempt to do a good audition. They finally ask her to take her neck brace off and she just can’t do it. The audience clap her on encouragingly and she brings herself to it but the music turns dark and twisted and a bizarre Xfuctor exorcism takes place. Witness Oolarlar Lular’s unusual burlesque story, of a grotesque woman trying to realise her potential in the competitive and corrupt world of show biz.
