On March 1st Ry hosted a watch party of the ‘Mouthwater Cabaret,’ a showcase of Disabled and Queer burlesque dancers, drag performers, go-go Dancers, lip-syncers and more. It was a fun viewing full of people awed by the performances, commenting gifs to celebrate and sharing delight by watching together. This watch party was held in the Garden, a collaborator and 24/7 BIPOC space, during their Social Hour event.

For many people at the event, this was their first time being able to see a cabaret due to disability, limited community and safety concerns with the on-going pandemics. The care and work that went into the in-person event in 2024 by Mouthwater Dance to have ASL interpretation, masked audiences, and recordings allowed this event to be accessible then and now for virtual audiences. If you want to see this show and experience it with an audience, on May 10th from 1-4pm PT/ 4-7pm ET Calling Up Justice and Mouthwater Dance will be hosting another watch party of the ‘Mouthwater Cabaret’ with an artist talk back at the end. ASL support will be there for the artist talk back and you can register here. Hope to see you there!
