Talented and skilled as a performer and theatre maker, Marianne Cheesecake has collaborated with numerous clients on various projects, tailoring acts for themed events and special occasions.  For example, she re-created Josephine Baker’s scandalous banana dance and performed it at Wigmore Hall in honour of the late Patrick O’Connor, the famous writer, critic and broadcaster who had also written a biography on Josephine Baker.  In 2011, Miss Cheesecake performed a special 1920s style show at a book launch to celebrate the English publication of the graphic biography “Kiki de Montparnasse” by Catel & Bocquet.  Also sought after as a model, Miss Cheesecake acted as a muse for the Cat Woman inspired heroine “Hat Woman”, where she collaborated with illustrators from The Red Dress (Olivia Chancellor and Ollie Bland) to create the character and B-movie style comic strip for a designer hat shop in Hong Kong. Miss Cheesecake regularly features as a model for Dr. Sketchy London, an internationally renowned burlesque life drawing event originally created by Molly Crabapple from Brooklyn, New York.
