A Benefit for Big Moves in New York
JELLY ROLL
Sunday, April 30 * Doors at 7, curtain at 7:30 p.m.
The Slipper Room, 167 Orchard Street at Stanton, Lower East Side, New
York
Tickets: $15/advance (available at http://www.bigmoves.org), $20 at the
door
New York's biggest starsin both mass and moxieare hitting the stage
hard on Sunday, April 30, at JELLY ROLL, a dance and burlesque benefit
for Big Moves-USA's newest branch in New York. Featuring the
over-the-top talents of the Glamazons, Sweetie, Nedra Johnson, Janie
Martinez, and Seleka, JELLY ROLL is guaranteed to fill up the Slipper
Room.
JELLY ROLL performers run the gamut from burlesque to bellydance, hip
hop to high drag. But all of the performers prove the point that
plus-size can be a plus on stage. This is especially true in burlesque,
where cups running over are what the audience wants. The Glamazons have
raised the stakes with tight routines and tighter clothes that leave
viewers gasping for breath and cheering for more. Drag artist Sweetie
also brings her weight to bear at JELLY ROLL, with just a few yards of
sequins holding her honky-tonk energy in place. Supersized bellydance
star Seleka keeps the belly in bellydance, and there will even be some
seriously phat hip-hop action from Marina Wolf Ahmad, founder of Big
Moves and artistic director of the Phat Fly Girls.
JELLY ROLL isn't only about dance, either, because Big Moves supports
more than just dance. Nedra Johnson, the NYC-based singer/songwriter,
will lay down a set of soulful funk and R&B, while Janie Martinez
stands up for a full-front comedic blast, excerpted from her one-woman
show, Fat Girls Go to Hell.
But of course, as we all know, Fat Girls don't go to hell. They take
their friends to JELLY ROLL!
