Dainty has visioned and curated the programming for Les Femmes Fatales burlesque and performance art shows for 2023.
The newest trilogy is the ''Showgirls'' series.
Celebrating mid-century showgirls, showbabes, showponies , werking girls, werkin' babes, good women, bad women, tough and tender babes who shimmy and shake and make the world quake.
Showgirls is all about our fierceness, toughness, softness, survivorship, resiliency, our joy, our glittered hopes and dreams, our glamour and beauty.
It is about honouring our past,  recognizing our present and looking toward our future. 
In this series, we are celebrating the long history of the art form of burlesque and recognizing that Black women, women and femmes of colour, trans , queer and non binary folks have always been part of the unique, innovative, artistic and revolutionary art form of burlesque.

Daughters Of Lillith 

Picture
Daughters Of Lilith is directed by Ravyn Wngz and features an all Black woman cast. Daughters of Lilith is the story of six complicated sisters who are bound together through blood, Blackness, femininity, the past and the present. Each sister has a dual nature which is symbolic of the very vital dual nature in all women. It is a story about how Black women survive love, loss, heartbreak, misogynoir and trauma.

The sisters reunite in the forest, searching for their mother Lilith and for ways to remember their personal and collective magic.
