Marlene Dandy

 Transgressions Part 3: Marlene Dandy - Annette Foster

The third part of a trilogy exploring the recent histories of Drag Queens, Drag Kings and Transgender identities. Marlene Dandy is a bearded ballerina redefining traditional notions of femininity. Part circus sideshow, part burlesque dancer and all performed on ballet pointe.

Over the past eleven years Annette Foster has created multimedia solo performance pieces. The content of her work has grown from an autobiographical view of psychological and emotional life to a more curious mix of feminism, identity and sexuality. As a bisexual woman, in a lesbian civil partnership she has a strong interest in gender, sexuality, and difference, with a strong interest in Queer and Gender theory.

Annette has exhibited her work regionally, nationally and internationally including; Arizona, Washington, Chicago, Colorado, in the USA, Nottingham, Leicester, Hull, Derby, Bristol, Manchester, in the UK, Glasgow and Dieppe, France.
