September Smith is a Circus Burlesque performer based in Santa Fe, NM who has been performing nationally since 2003 from NYC to San Francisco in fine theatres as well as sordid bars. She has performed her Aerial Burlesque (Lyra, Fabric & Duo Trapeze), as well as Partner Acrobatics with the likes of Wise Fool Circus, The National tour of the Sex Worker’s Art Show, at Viva Las Vegas in Nevada & Madame Maraschino’s House of Burlesque in San Francisco to name a few.

September is the founder & curator of the wildly popular Femme-O-Lition
Derby, an annual show in Albuquerque &
Santa Fe featuring Queer Femmes (pushing for an East Coast tour in Fall of 2008!). The Femme-O-liton
Derby exhibits the talent of queer women you
may not know are Queer!
We are hot, smart, bad-ass,
funny, tough, heartbreaking, poignant, strong, sexy
and powerful. We are poets, formally trained opera
singers, circus performers, hip-hop artists, sex educators, break
dancers, burlesque artists, business owners & story tellers, & we
will take your money, break your heart, & send you
home wanting more…with a smile on your face, of
course! The monster truck rally of high-femme mayhem!
A variety show where you will pay for the whole seat
but you’ll only use the edge!
