Wheel Sexy Cabaret is a bicycle-themed cabaret with the goal of celebrating bicyclists’ bodies with humor and sex-positive performances. WSC will be facilitated by Elle Thoni and Amber Davis, who like to bike and like to make plays (sometimes they make plays professionally, sometimes not. They do not bike professionally, but maybe they should start).
We are looking for performers of all orientations to perform and to lend their bodies and skills for WSC, taking place in March at the Bryant Lake Bowl. We are contacting you because you’re creative, you’re sexy, you’re a bicyclist! If you are interested in learning more, please come to our community round table discussion, “Chain of Thought” on Tuesday, Jan 10th 5 – 7p
Our diverse ensemble will use elements of burlesque, comedy,...

The Free Space will be closed for a holiday break, from Christmas Day (12/25) to New Year’s Eve (12/31). The MFS volunteers are taking a rest for reflecting and re-energizing after our space’s wonderful first six months of existence. We want to express our heart-felt gratitude to everyone who has become a part of our project through using the space and attending our secret cafes, dance parties, and events. You can support us next at MARS ATTACKS ICE! on January 20th!

In the absence of local government, FEMA, and the Red Cross, this unusual volunteer organization, based on ‘solidarity not...
