BURLESQUE!

Double Trouble
Courtney Trouble & Jenna Riot are Double Trouble, a radical fat fly girl high femme duo from Olympia, WA. They are inspired by traditional burleque, and incorporate fly-girl style choreographed dance moves to create something you've never ever seen before. Born under the wing of Nomy Lamm during her infamous Effigy tour, Double Trouble has been doing exclusive, ellusive, burlesque performances at events like Homo a GoGo & the Stonewall Youth Drag Show in Olympia, WA, and on July 26th 2005 they hosted the extravagant Les Royales Erotique Extrodinaire in Olympia, WA.

Courtney Trouble also does solo burlesque occasionally.

Make Your Own Smut: Radical Porn & Why It's Important!
This workshop, led by Courtney Trouble will look at some porn, talk about porn, and more. This workshop is open to anybody over the age of 18, but especially to the women & queerions who want to be introduced of the beautiful & mysterious world of DIY Smut. This is a sex positive, queer positive, size positive space and absolutely no negativity will be tolerated. This workshop is intended to be a celebration of porn and sexuality, not a debate about whether it's "right" or not. This workshop has been presented at Evergreen State College (Olympia, WA) as part of the Gender & Sexuality Conference, and the National Conference for Organised Resistance in Washington DC.

 

This workshop is intended for a small group of 5-15 woman-identified participants 18 and older.
Smut Party!
This workshop starts with a brief discussion of feminist porn, exhibitionism, desire, & articistic intent. After the participants get to know each other (or perhaps they already do!), they will learn the basics of setting up and executing thier own smutty scenes, including written consent, lighting, costumes, general concepts, and photoshoot tips. Depending on the size of the group and the cost of the workshop, either poloroids or digital cameras will be used to create images. Every woman will have a chance to be in front of and behind the camera, with seasoned smut artists around to help out. This workshop is completely confidential.
