A few years back, Kat found a hoard of forgotten VHS tapes in her mum's attic. Popping one in a VCR and pressing play, we were transported back in time, to 90s Warwickshire and Kat's stint at a small-town children’s Theatre School.

​

In this one-woman show, Kat comes to life as Twinkle Toes; a grotesque ballerina, confined to a cage and trapped in a noisy mirage of skin tight leotards, fake smiles and back-bending extravaganzas. Bound to the video tape, she is doomed to play, repeat, rewind, play, repeat, fast-forward in an desperate desire to entertain.
