Performances
A dedicated performer, creating a unique and powerful performance for every event.
Under the banner of the Red Queens, E-Lysaah wrangles a revolving group of dancers who get together to perform quirky, often outrageous forms of belly dance. The dancers are often members of other troupes and this freeform group gives them an opportunity to step outside their regular personas and into something a little more shocking. Red Queen artists are not a troupe in themselves, but an outlet for artistic forms.
Or if you just need some laid-back fun entertainment, Pip E-Lysaah can help out.
