Second Annual New York City
Sex Worker Cabaret
Sunday, June 12, 2011
Sex workers take the stage at Public Assembly in Brooklyn to tell their diverse stories through performance, video, narrative, puppetry, burlesque, comedy and more. This event starts with a selection of short videos about sex work around the globe, and then features an all-star lineup of eleven performers. Tickets can be purchased for $12 in advance at www.sexworkercabaret.com or at the event for $15 -- and early ticket buyers get a goodie bag from Pleasure Chest!
This Sunday evening cabaret showcases some of the most vibrant creative talent in the sex worker community. Started in homage to Annie Oakley’s Sex Workers Art Show (1997-2009) and San Francisco's Sex Worker Film and Art Festival (2005-now!) and takes place during LGBTQ Pride month, a time to reflect on the importance of community and resistance.
Come listen to tales of self-determination, and bear witness to survival and celebration as sex workers eloquently — and at times raunchily — speak their truths. A diverse array of performances will be presented by A, Aimee Herman, Audacia Ray, Ceyenne Doroshow, Essence Revealed, Inbred Hybrid Collective, The Incredible, Edible, Akynos, Lady Moustaché, Mariko Passion, Venus Flytrap, and Zachary Wager Scholl. The video artists featured in this event are Brown Meshugana, Gina Carducci & Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, Laura Murray, Leanne Gillard, Ms Virilia Crush, & Mée Rose, and the Red Umbrella Project. With MCs Sarah Jenny and Damien Luxe, DJ Sirlinda, and raffle prizes from Babeland!
