Get Chris to Vienna

$1,803 donated
Given by 26 generous donors in 7 weeks

I am asking for support from my community and fans to assist in getting me to Vienna for the Vienna Boylesque Festival in May 2017.

Auckland

I am a creative mover and shaker, a performance artist and dancer. I have been performing for many years and have fought endlessly to make this passion of mine succeed. However, success in the entertainment industry more often than not boils down to two things, timing and luck.

I am a firm believer in making your own luck, the timing however is often the catch. This time though I have been lucky enough to catch this opportunity in time!

I am one of only two performers selected from NZ to partake in this event, and it will be my first international appearance at any sort of Burlesque festival. This one being predominantly for the boys, it is the best of its kind and I would really love to show them what I've got. Also, the ongoing opportunities that may arise from taking part in this event may also be the launching pad that I need to help me achieve my desired success as a performance artist.

For those of you who know me well, well know that I put a 150% into everything that I do, costume, makeup, choreography and design. I work endlessly and sometimes mercilessly trying to bring everything together whilst trying to keep my home and work life in balance, but often this is never the case. And so I am asking for those that have followed my journey thus far to assist me in making this dream happen.

Help this Black Swan take flight and show the world what NZ has to offer.

Use of funds

The funds will be used in large part for the purchasing of flight tickets to Vienna, Austria. The cost of transporting the delicate costume for the event... and for the subsistence, transport and accommodation whilst in Austria.
