Application Deadline: Deadline passed.

Dates, times and location(s):
19 and 20 November 2015 in st Helens, Merseyside (exact times tbc)

The artist:
Longtime Duckie associate artist, Ursula Martinez is a writer, performance artist and cult cabaret diva who has managed to move freely between the commercial sector and the 'arty' sector, which has given her a good balance between artistic satisfaction and financial security.
