Writer/Performer Desiree Burch presents:
52-Man Pickup

January 30, NEW YORK, NY Galapagos’ Smut
hostess Desiree Burch is no stranger to New York City’s deck of romantic cards. After shuffling the sheets with firemen, construction workers, editors, rockers, schoolteachers, male cheerleaders and everyone else in between, Burch has amassed a flush of sexual and intellectual prowess to share with a generation of hipsters and humpsters. Sex and gambling find their blessed union in this daring, fast-paced, memoir-manifesto, “52-Man Pickup.” On Friday, February 9th @ 7:30 PM, Burch pulls tales of folly and wisdom out of her hat in a salacious evening of storytelling at Galapagos Art Space which celebrates sex, disillusionment, exploration and strength in the city that never sleeps with the same person twice.

Candid to the core, “hilarious” (NY Daily News) and “vibrant” (Gothamist) writer/comedian Desiree Burch “stands out… taking on a variety of subjects and fancies.” (Drama Review) “Desiree Burch has tremendous spunk and honesty,” says the San Francisco Bay Times, and is known on NYC’s downtown scene for witty, compelling and “surprisingly meaty” (Off-Off Online) performance that is “pretty damn funny and pretty damn good.” (Yale Herald). Her writing and performance work have been seen in “Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind,” “Rip Me Open,” The New York International Fringe Festival, The Midtown International Theatre Festival, The Mae West Fe stival, Caroline’s on Broadway, Gotham Comedy Club, Joe’s Pub, and P.S. 122.

THE PAINTED LADIES
Choreographed and Directed by Jenny Rocha

Choreographer Jenny Rocha presents "The Painted Ladies", A Fusion of Dance, Percussion, Vaudeville & Burlesque. Rocha's collection of witty, dynamic performances creates a vibrant celebration of the uninhibited female. This saloon-sexy performance takes comedy to a brilliant climactic level, with feet stomping, pelvis' thrusting, and winking ladies. The sextet includes Shevaun Smythe Hiler, Jillian Hollis, Christine Poland, Jenny Rocha, Jessy Smith, and Rieko Yamanaka with Chris Henry as the emcee.


What The Critics Are Saying...

"a hilarious trio for manic tootsies" Jennifer Dunning, New York Times 2005

"Rocha's full-out, confident, passionate style in performance as well as choreography makes her an artist to watch in 2007"
Eva Yaa Asantewaa,http://mysite.verizon.net/magickaleva/

"this show puts the art back into tart" Kari Milchman, NYPress

"Part feminist satire, part neo-feminist celebration, The Painted Ladies depicted feisty, sometimes comic, show girls down through history"

Frequently and rightly placed in the
same context as DJ Premier, Pete
Rock, and Kanye West, Jay Dee built and sustained a high standing as a
producer's producer while maintaining
a low profile. When Pharrell
Williams appeared on BET's 106 & Park in 2004, he excitedly declared
that Jay Dee was his favorite producer and told an audibly stumped
crowd that it had probably never heard of the man. At the time, Jay
Dee had been active for well over a decade and had netted enough
beats including the Pharcyde's "Runnin'," De La Soul's "Stakes Is
High," Common's "The Light," and several others with production teams
the Ummah and the Soulquarians to be considered an all-time great.
Alternately known as J Dilla, or just Dilla, he never produced a
mainstream smash and,
in many cases, his presence has to be confirmed with a liner notes
scan. Rather than provide immediate (or fleeting) thrills, he was
hooked on working the subconscious as much as the neck muscles. He was
so focused on his work that it took a severe toll on his health.
