WEIRD - CreativeMornings Oslo - Burlesque, Puppies, and more...
tirsdag 9. august 2016 kl. 07:30 på Kulturhuset
Welcome to the Creative Mornings Oslo series! We’re pleased to be back in action with our August event. This month’s theme is Weird chosen by the Austin chapter.
Weird is a broad concept that can be defined in many different ways. We’ve invited Carina to speak about her experience and challenges in the world of burlesque, a wonderfly weird hobby that created a star.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Carina Carlsen, stage name Fifi von Tassel, is a Norwegian burlesque artist with performing experience of over three years. She started doing burlesque in 2013, thinking it would be her little secret. Having no intentions of going on stage as she struggled with body confidence and self image at the time, she eventually turned into Oslo’s Burlesque Diva, while speaking out about her issues. “I used to be a bulimic, and some days I just wanted to die. It’s a bit clique, but burlesque saved me, and today – I use my burlesque to send a body positive message wherever I go.” She holds lectures about body confidence and started the project #BeyondBody, along with Spisefortyrrelsesforeningen, the Norwegian Eating Disorder Association.
