Events
Since 1994, I have worked independently creating events, promoting bands & organising same-sex tango classes. On top of my own creations (link to About) and Touring productions, current projects include:
LE BOUDOIR
A magical evening of retro entertainment in a magnificent restored theatre
(note: le Boudoir takes a break in 2007)
EDGY WOMEN
An annual festival held every March featuring performances, a zine fair, and workshops
BALLROOM TANGO
I am still trying to figure out how/when to organise a ball & workshops… more info to come!
MEOW MIX
Meow Mix is a night for bent girls & their buddies with performances and DJs.
This nearly monthly neighbourhood party is a an alternative to the Village scene, and caters to a mixed bag of artists, rebels & misfits with eclectic musical taste (hip hop, pop, kitch, bhangra…). Created in 1997, the event provided space for emerging female djs to develop. Since relocating to the fabulous (though sadly not wheelchair accessible) Sala Rossa in 2002, a stage show has become an integral part of the Meow Mix experience.
