FIELD NOTES

Burlesque is so much more than what happens onstage. Behind every performance is an entire ecosystem of artists, production teams, hospitality workers, venues, and creative businesses making it all possible. I've been thinking about what it means to invest in that ecosystem, create more opportunities for people to participate, and build a local arts community where more people can develop their skills, contribute to the art we love, and get paid for their work.

I turn 40 this week, and somehow fittingly, this is also my fifth birthday as LegsForeverXO. Come find me out in the universe for a full week of art, pleasure, performance, celebration and a little birthday foolishness.

August rolls on with burlesque, cosplay, art, Babydolls and a little naughty bingo. Come along for the second half of the month, plus a peek at what I’m creating behind the curtain.

Part intention setting, part behind-the-scenes studio notes, part open invitation. I’m naming what I’m practicing, producing, exploring, and bringing into form in the LegsforeverXO universe.
