"Body adornments-a suit of buttons, bustles, chaps, hats and headdresses, horns, wings-were donned by performers and attendees alike. Attendees were treated to Dark Garden's live models, Qui'n de la Noche's and Kitty Oakes' sexy burlesques, Zoe Jakes and her storytelling dancers. Vau de Vire Society Reviews highlighted the power of the body via Dwoira Galielea in an arial hoop, and Mz. K in a cube."
"In the former, The Speakeasy Syndicate started and ended the evening and provided musical interludes. Carnie Asada shepherded the acts and offered commentary and witty repartee. Gaucho Jazz ushered in the dance experience with their feisty renditions of old standards and new favorites. With The Barbary Ghost at the mixer and Dorian Dietrich as emcee, the Museum of Wonders in the Regency's resplendent Masonic Lodge showcased the sonic zen vibes of Stephanie Law and the jazzy tunes of Dr. Abacus."
"be art as Edi Hsu sketched away, or make art as a part of Sasha Igdari's "Sounds of Silence: Caged Thoughts" interactive installation. No matter the method, creation is essential to the Edwardians. Not content to merely watch, some manipulated their own bodies with an Absinthia cocktail or other libation. And for those wanting a more immersive experience, Breck Dolan's The Human Repair Chair was ready to help people "surrender to the mystery of what wants to arise"."
