Anita Berber

Anita Berber is a huge influence for this project, as she lived during the Weimar period. Everybody knew about her being the rebellious cabaret dancer in Berlin.
She was born on the 10th June 1899, and by the age of 16, she had moved to Berlin and made her debut as a cabaret dancer. She was famous for her bright red bob and her boundary braking performances, with their androgyny and nudity. Her drug addiction and her bisexual relationships were also a big talk of Weimar Berlin.
Berber reminds me of Sally Bowles in Goodbye to Berlin. Brendan quoted that,

"She wore heavy dancer’s make-up, which on the black-and-white photos and films of the time came across as jet black lipstick painted across the heart-shaped part of her skinny lips, and charcoaled eyes."

This will be taken into consideration when creating my final images.
