Voodoo Onyx - Magic Incarnate Burlesque Dancer

1 hour 14 minutes Posted Mar 1, 2023 at 8:30 pm.

: Voodoo explains the stresses of her job as an embryologist, someone who physically chooses and injects sperm into an egg for fertilization. The discussion turns to the absolute madness of entering parenthood and having to care for tiny human beings.

: Switching to her dancing career, Voodoo shares her first exposure to burlesque, as well as the success of her first performance. She creates a safe space and understands how audience members can feel vulnerable, too.

: Jack asks for the story behind Voodoo’s stage name, and the conversation strays to the subject of magic, awareness, and self love.

: Jack brings up failure and the inner dialogue that often comes along with it. While Voodoo doesn’t have any horrendous failures, she speaks to saying yes to jobs early in her career that led to “weird” interactions. Voodoo touches on a non-ideal audience. She ends with advice for anyone considering burlesque.

ABOUT JACK DAWKINS

Jack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far. His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use. Most importantly, he loves you.
