Submission Deadline Extended!

We will be extending the act submission deadline for Stark Naked to the end of the month!

The past few weeks have been busy for many of us, what with all the amazing burlesque productions happening in Seattle (Wiggy's been working like mad on rePRODUCTION- This Friday 5/18 at West Hall!), gearing up for BHOF, and not to mention Madeline's upcoming wedding!

Use the extra couple of weeks to get caught up on Season 2 of HBO's Game of Thrones, tear into Dance with Dragons, and then shoot us an email at fauxdust.presents@gmail.com and let us know what inspires you!

As before, while the Seattle burlesque scene is predominantly female, we are particularly interested in representing some of the male characters in Game of Thrones. Boys, boyz, bois are encouraged to apply, and all you ladies who want to talk about some of the (potentially touchy) feminist issues in the A Song of Ice & Fire series are invited to do so with a gender-bending performance! We would love a Ned number, a tribute to Tyrion, and to see Kate Bush's Hounds of Love adapted for Sandor Clegane!


The new deadline for act submissions is Friday, May 31st. 

And, if you don't want to be on stage yourself, but would like to help make the show happen, please consider donating to Fauxdust Presents! Special thanks to Jessica Price of Burlesque Seattle Press for getting the party started with her generous donation!

FAUXDUST is pleased to announce that they will be co-producing their inaugural poptacular Stark Naked: A Nerdlesque Tribute to A Game of Thrones with the wonderful Theatre Off Jackson on July 13th and 14th, 2012.

Theatre Off Jackson has been an incredible supporter of the burlesque and performance communities for many-a-year and we are so privileged to have the opportunity to work with them. For more information on the awesome-ness that is TOJ, please visit their website here.

With the announcement of our production dates, we also published a call for performers on our Facebook page (which we encourage you to follow here!) We're searching for performers of all different varieties. We want strippers, aerialists, fire performers, tumblers, jugglers, and actors! Have a skill, we didn't just list? Submit an act. We are also encouraging performers from our neighboring cities of Portland and Olympia to submit acts. Our hope is to manifest some artistic cross-pollination with dreams of future collaboration! Please take a look at the full call for performers for a complete overview of act specifications and Stark Naked's performer requirements. The nerdier the better! Geeklust forever!
