Eva Schroeder, Skin and Stilettos (PEOPLE 2021)

Born with the terminal genetic condition Cystic Fibrosis and having seen the end to a promising Ballet career early on fuelled 24-year-old Sian Jackson to use her deep love of performance art to create an adventurous life. Combining Burlesque, Stripping and Circus Acts, Sian feeds her passion for entertaining others by choreographing solo works of art whilst at the same time (and to pay the bills) teaching people of all ages and abilities how to use Circus as a form of occupational therapy. And Sian’s dream – to complete, and then tour, her solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!
