About me:
The Sci-Fi show 2009! Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket BIO

Jewel of Denial skidded out of a Virginia trailer park back in 2002 and headed out west with nothing but her dreams. It was in Los Angeles the following summer that she entered the sparkling world of the Velvet Hammer Burlesque--LA’s pioneering burlesque troupe, and remained a solo dancer until 2005. Jewel has graced stages in 4 countries, 6 states, and 17 cities; including Las Vegas, Hollywood, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Washington D.C., London, and Amsterdam. Her signature style juxtaposes the basics of life: heartache, trash, social issues, poop, religion, work and death with glamour and sex appeal for a humorous, sometimes shocking outcome. This Jewel has years of movement training--from ballroom at Arthur Murray to jazz and dance fitness at L.A. Dance Arts Academy. She has also carefully researched retro dances such as apache, lindy hop, swing, and jive. Currently, Jewel of Denial holds the title of 2008 Miss Exotic World--Best Duo category (along with Kat Bardot). She is also co-founder of Striptease Symposium: where she consults, choreographs, teaches group classes, and offers private instruction. Catch her performing regularly all around L.A.!

The word is out about Tracing Sonny!
Tracing Sonny
“(Jacob) Smith and (Vanessa) Hurd provide charm and skill, making the most of their material…”
Review of Tracing Sonny by Neal Weaver – LA Weekly, June 2009

“This play holds lots of charm, wit, and possesses a healthy amount of emotional drama without being all sappy about it!”
Review of Tracing Sonny by Rich Borowy – Accessibility Live, June 2009
 

“Andrew Moore's play is truly character driven, and its story contains a lot of simple episodes that one can actually relate to!”
Review of Tracing Sonny by Rich Borowy – Accessibility Live, June 2009
 

“Tracing Sonny is one of those theater gems out there that can make one laugh, sigh, and can show that life can lead one in the right direction!”
Review of Tracing Sonny by Rich Borowy – Accessibility Live, June 2009
