There is no doubt that live performances are an exhilarating experience but air quality in crowded venues, post pandemic, has led to performers and audiences staying away.

The Anchoress, a clinically vulnerable performer known for her captivating performances and her unique brand of art-pop, has proactively created a safer stage environment to enable live performances after a 3 year hiatus.
