Introduce yourself
My name is G. I go by any pronouns - as long as you’re respectful. When in doubt, just use they/them for me.
How long have you been a student at Sky Sirens? What do you do here?
I started out doing Pole at other studios many years ago, but moved to Sky Sirens in November 2020. I do Pole, Lyra and sensual floor work classes like Down & Dirty.
What do you identify as within the LGBTQIA+ community?
I identify as Queer - particularly Bisexual & Non-Binary.
I love the expression that aerials and dance allows. I can dance more masc styles, or be very feminine. At Sky Sirens, nobody cares whether I come to class super masc one week, and more feminine another.
Although masc and masculinity are closely related, they aren’t interchangeable.
Masculinity refers to the socially constructed idea of what is masculine and manly; whereas masc is, in a way, the queering of masculinity. It’s celebrating and dismantling masculinity - at the same time. I see ‘masc’ as a queer little sibling of masculinity. It’s the idea of taking the “traditional” masculine, “manly” words, concepts & preconceived ideas that were (and still are) placed on me, my body and my mind and transforming them.
