Join us at Creative Alliance for our first night of drinks and drawing of 2020, featuring Jacqueline Boxx, the amazing Miss Disa-burly-TEASE, who links burlesque, glamour and spectacle to disability! Enjoy a delicious cocktail or two while competing in our off-the-wall drawing contests for awesome prizes from Blick Art Materials—no drawing experience is necessary, but bring your own art supplies and cash tips for Jacqueline!

Here's more about our January model:

"In 2017, Jacqueline Boxx became the first performer to ever compete in a wheelchair for a title at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender. Her mobility aids are as enticing as her activism, and she packs an aesthetic and emotional punch, whether she brings classic tease, nerdlesque, or neo-burlesque to the stage. Her background before disability involved trapeze, circus, hooping, cabaret, theater, bellydance, swing dance, ballet, and numerous other kinds of performance art, including touring with The Dresden Dolls as part of their Brigade. Her mobility decreased gradually and these performance outlets lessened as well, until she burst back onto the stage in 2015 with a renewed feeling of partnership with her disabled body. She has headlined and been featured in burlesque festivals across the globe, including being invited onto the Burlesque Hall of Fame stage twice. Jacqueline has also taught workshops and lectured on panels about mindful movement and burlesque basics across the country.

"Her acts are all related in some way to her experience with chronic pain and limited mobility, and she strives to bring attention through glamour and spectacle to disability. She is: Miss Disa-burly-TEASE!"
