Another amazing evening of Disabilitease!

Perfect Tyler for Disabilitease by Suzanne Forbes April 11 2021This is Perfect Tyler performing for Disabilitease!

What an incredible, iconic wheelchair burlesque piece! I looooove Perfect Tyler, find and follow them here! This performance was for the November 2020 edition of Disabilitease.

Kay Ulanday Barrett for Disabilitease Nov 2020 by Suzanne Forbes Jan 7 2022Updated Jan 25 2022 with writer Kay Ulanday Barrett!

I did these two drawings of NY based literary powerhouse Kay Ulanday Barrett as he performed a poem for this edition of Disabilitease. I liked the likenesses but wanted to add color, and it took me over a year! During which I have come to know and love their work.

Their insta is here and his website is here.

Little Peaches

Little Peaches is an international performer and producer and DisabiliTease is her baby. Several years ago, a serious flare up of several of her medical conditions left her unable to dance. Being the stubborn renegade stripper that she is, Little Peaches grabbed her wheelchair and re-trained herself to dance with wheels!

About booking performers with disabilities, she says:

Performers with disabilities are often overlooked for shows because they may need a little extra help when it comes to making the show accessible for them. That may be having wheelchair or walking aid access, assistance with travel, assistance to and from the stage to aid with visual impairments, BSL interpreters or a quiet space to retreat to if they are feeling overwhelmed. These little things can be surprisingly easy to put into place but more often than not, they aren’t.

Arielle Firecracker is the other half of the Disabilitease team!

Arielle is a gorgeous tattooed bombshell who burns up the stage! Here she is photographed by Veronika Marx.

I’m working on more drawings from this event.

Due to my own disability, it’s going slower than usual, but I will get them up eventually 🙂

DisabiliTease! An online burlesque show I loved so much.

Noeline la Bouche for Disabilitease by Suzanne Forbes May 28 2020I heard about Disabilitease from the feed of muse Noéline La Bouche, one of the performers.

You can see the drawing I made of her performance above. She is dancing in her apartment, doing one of my favorites of her routines. Noéline is so courageous in talking and sharing about disability in Berlin’s performance scene; she has helped producers understand that some of us have limitations and challenges but are still gonna show up as we can, and be amazing! Follow her here, site here, and my other Noéline drawings here, hereherehere here and here!

Little Peaches for Disabilitease June 21 2020 by Suzanne ForbesThis is Little Peaches!

Little Peaches is an international performer and producer and DisabiliTease is her baby. 18 months ago, a serious flare up of several of her medical conditions left her unable to dance. Being the stubborn renegade stripper that she is, Little Peaches grabbed her wheelchair and re-trained herself to dance with wheels! About booking performers with disabilities, she says:

Little Peaches welcomed me very kindly to draw the show. She did an amazing routine!

Arielle Firecracker for Disabilitease by Suzanne Forbes August 24 2020Arielle Firecracker is the other half of the Disabilitease team!

Arielle is a gorgeous tattooed bombshell and The Mother of Serpents – she has a snake named Dita 🙂 Check out the project she’s working on, Art & Soul Tribe!

Piggy Rox for Disablilitease by Suzanne Forbes June 21 2020Piggy Rox is so fierce!

I loved getting a chance to draw Roxy, a new-to-me performer.

Lady Phoenix for Disabilitease June 21 2020 by Suzanne ForbesLady Phoenix, trailing fire!

Lady Phoenix is another new-to-me performer, and she was marvelous!

La Nina the Disability Pirate for Disabilitease by Suzanne Forbes May 28 2020This is La Nina the Disability Pirate, with her Spoons hat!

You never know when you’ll need extra spoons. Her spoken word piece was great!

Rosie for Disabilitease by Suzanne Forbes May 28 2020This is Rosie who sang a great song!

I did not agree with her song, which was called “Don’t let a Pornstar tell you who are” – it had a great message but so many people I love are porn performers I take any critique of their profession personally! Rosie is part of the wonderful Invisible Cabaret.

Still working on the drawings of Erin Ball 🙂
