You can find out more about Chica Boom at www.lachicaboom.com. Chica Boom is the founder and producer of KALEIDOSCOPE, A National People of Color Cabaret, and this year Kaleidoscope 2009 it will be hosted in San Francisco! The show will be accompanied by a day of workshops for and by performance artists of color and the general public. Kaleidoscope has been extremely successful, selling out in 2007 and 2008 in Seattle and promises to be just as successful in the Bay area. Here's a little more information about the event. For the past two years, Kaleidoscope has brought together women, men, and trans folks of color from Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix and Austin. It's the first of it’s kind in Burlesque, in that it centers vaudevillians, aerialists, drag artists, singers and neo burlesque performers of color to inspire, entertain, represent and transform burlesque. Kaleidoscope features drag, burlesque, music, and aerial art performances and workshops in Spanish, Tagalog, and workshops tailored for the needs communities of color. The wide range of performances are erotic, sexy, hilarious, political and subvert racism and celebrate people of color in performance! We have been lucky enough to be have been honored by the presence of burlesque legends from the past such as Detroit's very own Toni Elling, a protege of Duke Ellington and a famous burlesque dancer from the late 50's. In the past, Communities Against Rape and Abuse, INCITE!, Northwest Network for LGBT Survivors of Abuse, Seattle Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, and EntreHermanos, (A Latino Queer Org) have all sponsored the show. With the support of these organizations, Kaleidoscope has flourished and become a venue for discussions about how to use art as a tool for liberation, race positive sexuality, and the sexualization of race and race politics.

I'm more of a sideshow performer with a bit of burlesque thrown in. I've hear the term Gorlesque used. Anywho, I've noticed a lack of color in several interests of mine. Like in burlesque, punk, motorcycle riders, fire performing.

I maintain a section on my website on performers of African heritage in Burlesque, yesterday and today. I am particularly interested in today's Black performers in this genre (eg. Harlem Shake , Coco LaCreme, Coco Frambroise etc. ) as I think that it is important to document us now before we get lost in history. Goodness knows, we get nary a mention in current documentarys and books (I've looked!) While I focus on Black history I would like to be able to add performers from the Latina and Asian communities as well (e.g. Erochica Bamboo of Japan) , given that there are even fewer of them as far as I can see. So please check out my website and let know who I am missing. Thanks! Kristine aka Cha Cha "The Ripple" http://www.kmaitland.ca Black History: ballet, burlesque and beyond...
