I am excited to be invited to this long standing show! Come celebrate the birthday of our Reverend Mother, Ivana and enjoy some cheeky fun at Red Light Cafe!
James did a terrific job of capturing my Queer Joy at our semi-annual variety show.
I have the privilege of being included in this benefit show for the Your Legacy Project.
“The Death Cabaret is the annual benefit show for Angel Action Atlanta’s Your Legacy project. Angel Action Atlanta has, for fifteen years, stood as a symbol of compassion against queerphobia at PRIDE celebrations around Georgia and at several of our community member’s funerals. We are in our fourth year working toward providing our community, especially our transgender family’s, dying and death care as guides through the processes. Our longer term goal is to also assist with those in need within the carceral system.”
Videographer Mordecai Lecky produced this work in collaboration with Raqs Razi and myself.
I was recently asked to perform at a bar in Biloxi, MS for the first time in years. I had let my insurance and practice seriously lapse during the pandemic. Which I understand was an all too common experience among my fellow performance artists. But, here I am all resurrected! I have found my love for the artform again. Fire dart is the new prop obsession. Since my Biloxi Gig I performed at Deep Roots Kava Bar in Columbus, GA for their grand opening and got booked for a variety show at The Red Light Cafe in Atlanta! I have been slowly revamping and bringing back my gig sites and social media presence as a performer. Getting the WordPress site squared away was the last major marketing effort for now.
So, I said goodbye to Balefire. Which we founded in 2008! It will remain a warm memory in my heart as it filled a void that I never knew I had until I lit that first prop (fire fans). I have been really enjoying this opportunity to reinvent myself and dive back into the art! This passion is so precious and easily lost. I am now Eric Greenfingers! To date I have danced with staff, leviwand, zip poi, fire fans and now fire dart which has been the biggest fire I have flung to date. I am seeking collaborators and patrons as I manifest this glamour!
