About me:

I’m a Washington, DC based burlesque performer, actress, and model. I have performed with EPIC WIN Burlesque, Naked Girls Reading DC, Tilted Torch, Richmond Burlesque Revue, Cherry Red Productions, and the Coney Island Rock n’ Roll Show, among others. I am a founder and co-producer of the nerdy burlesque production team the Evil League of Ecdysiasts and appeared on the first-ever Nerdlesque Panel at BurlyCon 2012 in Seattle, Washington. I can frequently be found at the Red Palace in Northeast DC’s Atlas District, but I have also performed in Baltimore, MD; Albany, NY; and with Cheeky Monkey Sideshow at the 2011 Sideshow Gathering in Wilkes-Barre, PA. When I’m not performing, producing, costuming, or rehearsing, I refine my plan for surviving the impending zombie apocalypse.

I have a BFA in Theatre and have taken classes with Jo Weldon, Johnny Porkpie, Don Spiro, Trixie Little, Lucy Flawless, Sydni Devereux, Inga Ingenue, Peekaboo Pointe, Dirty Martini, Imogen Kelly, Lux LaCroix, Kristina Nekyia, Julie Atlas Muz, Armitage Shanks, Nasty Canasta, Amber Ray, Deanna Danger, Eric Geoffrey, Reverend Valentine, and Lil Dutch. I have studied a variety of dance forms, including ballet, jazz, and tap, and I’ve dabbled in pole dancing and flying trapeze.

I’m also an experienced stage kitten and stage manager.  I have stage kittened for Albert Cadabra, Gal Friday, Angie Pontani, Neil O’Fortune, and Sticky Buns Burlesque, among others, and I’ve stage managed professional theatre productions.
