Opentoe Peepshow #4: NCN, Kit Yan, Adelaide Windsome, and Patti Smith
Heels on Wheels presents the fourth Opentoe Peepshow: revealing new works by queer artists on Sunday January 6th in Brooklyn, NY at the Branded Saloon.
Each first Sunday of the month October–June, the performance collaborative I co-produce, Heels on Wheels Glitter Roadshow, continue to create space for queer performances that transcend genre and gender, presenting magical and powerful artists who inspire, delight, and educate.
Where: Branded Saloon, Vanderbilt Ave. and Bergen St., Brooklyn, $3-$10.
When: Sunday Jan. 6 2013, Doors at 7pm, Performances start at 8pm *sharp*, and there is a *special surprise* involving Patti Smith. We’ll say no more…
Featured artists for January 2013 are:
NCN is the stage name of a believer in collective liberation, hater of capitalism, and conductor of storytelling experiments for children and adults. Tigerlad, the baby donkey, and all NCN’s other characters (NCN personifies everything he sees) inhabit worlds where Newtonian physics and cause and effect logic have been replaced by desire, emotion, and SM fantasy. On their off-hours they inhabit www.tigerlad.com
