Get ready for the ride.
Dani Royal

burlesque
 through classes with the Femmes Rebelles in 2023. There she quickly fell in love with this craft for how freeing it is. And so, for just a moment, all she wants from you, is to step out into the moonlight and dream along with her…

Her creative world blends music, photography, painting, poetry, drag, and raw self-expression. She will perform a piece from her three-part work “Conversations with Death”, exploring the struggles and triumphs of mental illness through song and poetry.
Johanna Daze
