The Ethical Stripper – Sex, Work and Labour Rights in the Night-Time Economy – Stacey Clare

Stacey Clare is a stripper, performance artist, writer, activist and care worker. She grew up in northern England and began working as a stripper in Scotland aged twenty-two, while on a gap year from her Fine Art degree at Glasgow School of Art. She has worked all over the UK, Paris and Australia. Stacey co-founded the East London Strippers Collective as a concerted effort to unite dancers around common grievances about their own industry, including the poor representation of strippers in the media. She lives in London and divides her time between running a life-drawing class (with strippers as models), theatre projects, working part-time in care, activism and writing.
