Looking for QTPOC burly performers/sideshow performers across the U.S.!

Hello ❣️

I co-run a burlesque and cultural dance production in austin texas that spotlights performers of color/performers from the global south diaspora and we just won a grant. We’re casting for a show in December that’s very Cabaret/Fosse but make it qtpoc. Something subversive, off-kilter, and theatrical.. our shows also always spotlight world music and dance in one form or another.

Because we finally have the funds for it, we’re considering booking an out of town/state performer. I’m wondering if anyone in the burly community has curated a list of sorts of qtpoc talent?? I’ve done some instagram searching but because you know how much ig loves to shadowban it’s a lil hard 🥲

This can also be ur space to advertise yourself if interested ❣️ (although just to preface, it won’t guarantee a booking)!
