Performer Bio
Welcome to the magical, mystical world of Eilidh Ellery. Your Naughty Performer, Playwright and Professor. Enter this curiously beautiful cosmos, of Scottish Sensuality, or ScotSense. Inspired by vintage B-Movie hosts, with a hint of Hammer Glamour. Dirty-pretty goth, punk and dad rock. And the dark side of the golden age of silver screen movie musicals. Like a tartan chameleon (or velvet donkey). They have taken on many roles over the last 3 decades. Both on and off stage. From stage kitten to tech wizzard. Dance class instructor to screen dance film producer. Eilidh can wear any performing arts hat thrown their way with style and panache. They first stripped their way onto a Nerdlesque stage in 2015. Though, after a few falls into the orchestra pit of life. Their professional burlesque and circus career only took off from 2020... When the performing arts industry shifted to the digital sphere. Making international training, performing and teaching more accessible. While Eilidhโs work became even more experimental than anyone truly thought possible. Likened to Philomena Cunk โif the Pump Up the Jam bit was sexierโ. And often billed as โand now for something entirely differentโฆโ Eilidhโs performance style can be described as Ivor Cutler adjacent.
