Brigitte Aphrodite

Brigitte Aphrodite is a punk poet, musician, theatre maker and feminist showgirl. With her band she has played Leeds and Reading Festivals, Bestival, Latitude, Kendal Calling and supported Kate Nash and Josie Long on extensive UK tours.

Brigitte's debut studio album is due for release in early 2016 to coincide with her self-penned musical My Beautiful Black Dog which debuted at the Bush Theatre, London in 2014.

Brigitte is a proud mentor for youth charity, Arts Emergency. She has facilitated workshops for Ideastap, National Youth Theatre, The Egg Tooth Project and has invented the sport Frunning (a mix of running and dancing!)

My Beautiful Black Dog is a new piece of electrifying gig-theatre for people interested in music, comedy, poetry, theatre, and the difficult and beauteous complexity of our mental health.

This show challenges the urgent stigma around depression and encourages the audience to take ownership of their own black dogs whilst channeling, wild dance moves, swagger-boss costumes and banging tunes!
