Blacksheep, a solo performance by Dr Jae West, is an autobiographical chronicle of Jae's life from when she was in primary school, constantly wanting to dance, through to adulthood when she was accepted as a gay woman and performing artist. 

Most of us would take the term Black Sheep for granted, assuming it to mean being an outsider, an outlier, or an unaccepted friend or family member. Jae explained the origins and various meanings and then delved into how she always felt like or was treated like a black sheep throughout different stages in her life. 

Jae is an accomplished dancer who has used her original choreography to tell a story of self-image and transition that has brought her from her start as an avid fan of the Spice Girls through to the professional she is today. 

Her journey led her through synchronised swimming, a conservative private girls' school, working in gay clubs, and dealing with years of eating disorder challenges, culminating in an impromptu staged event as a solo artist in the busy throngs of Piccadilly Circus in London. The videos of this event went global, triggering similar events in cities across the globe. 

This was a raw and riveting performance, with Jae revealing parts of herself that most people would be scared to do. Subsequently, a great deal of respect and adulation was felt by the audience, and she received a standing ovation.
