The World's a Stage. Your Solo is Up.
'Dressing Room' follows Margot, a burlesque dancer in the 1980s, struggling with the mounting pressure of being a woman performer. Due to looming realities she's facing in her personal life, as well as an unfavourable view of herself in comparison to her fellow dancer Penny, Margot worries about the future of her career. This short is where the male gaze, body image, womanhood, and the spotlight all come to a head.
