She ‘whips the audience into a frenzy’ - Weekend Notes

 

Extremely passionate about authentic expression, storytelling and connection, audiences rave about her ability to move them deeply.

 

“That was seriously one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen” Benjamin Harvey - Authentic Education.

 

Working in the entertainment industry, Clare started wearing a lot of masks on and off the stage. Hiding from the world that she was born with Poland's Syndrome, a rare congenital condition where her left hand side of her body is smaller than her right. Born without her left pec, her left breast never developed as a teenager. She was so ashamed of her body, she kept it a secret until she was 28. 

 

In 2014, she wrote and published her book ‘The One Breast Goddess - transforming shame into beauty.’ This led to many speaking opportunities including an invite from Tedx. 

 

An entrepreneur at heart, Clare has been the creative director and lead facilitator of several artistic businesses including ‘The Victorian Dance Studio’ and acting school ‘Meisner Melbourne.’ She is extremely passionate to help other creatives own their authentic voice and this led to a nomination for Telstra Business Woman Of The Year. 

 

In 2018, Clare wrote and performed her very first one woman show ‘Dropping The Mask,’ a 2 act musical with live band. A sold out season and rave reviews, Clare was inspired to continue writing transcendental memoirs for the stage. 

 

In 2019, Clare launched a new show 'Devil Woman' at The Melbourne Fringe Festival, delving into her body challenges with Poland's Syndrome in a comedy cabaret. 

 

Media caught onto her story and she started receiving publicity all over Australia. Studio 10, The Guardian, Herald Sun, Channel 9 Honey, The News Daily, The Melbourne Explorer all featuring her story. Then American Company 'Hashtag Stories' saw her story and together they crafted a video about her show, which received over 1 million hits in the first 24 hours.

 

To complete a transformative 2019, a short film that she starred in ‘Bodies’ played in Hollywood and New York at NYC Doc Fest.

 

During covid, Clare created an online reality TV show ‘Love in Quarantine’ to help Australian singles in lockdown experience connection. The show got picked up by sponsor ‘Evohe’ skincare and helped Clare’s performing reach a national audience. 

 

The last 3 years Clare has been touring Australia with sell out seasons of her show, inspiring others to love all parts of themselves. Featuring at galas, events and retreats such as ‘Freedom Fest,’ ‘Soul Star Festival,’ and ‘Bloom.’  

 

Clare is currently becoming an accredited money mentor and helping artists with her money bootcamp for creatives.

 

Her new show ‘A Drug Called Fame’ is launching in October 2023.
