ABOUT DOMINIQUE TRIXX
Dominique Trixx didn't jump out of a nocturnal scene in Paris in the 30's, or a cabaret in Germany in the 20's, or a Spaghetti Western, for that matter, but she fancies herself a keeper of the torch by expanding on imagery from those eras (and anywhere else, actually) with original flair. Employing burlesque as a medium, she creates jaunty, slinky and sultry powerhouse performances.
Dominique Trixx is a member of Michelle L'amour's Chicago Starlets and has been performing burlesque professionally since 2006, under the tutelage of Michelle L'amour.
Dominique likes to define her performances as little mise-en-scenes, complete with strong characters and a good dose of "nudge nudge wink wink" tease and classic burlesque - Straight up as well as on the rocks, if you will.
Uniquely Dominique Trixx routines include her twist on the classic cowgirl, the party girl, a vintage French coquette, a 50's Italian sweetheart, even a Cavegirl. She is proud of her signature Batcave Fan Dance, and her take on the classic Beach Girl pin-up. Musically she draws from all styles, a few languages, and different eras. Examples: the Clash, Marc Almond, Ennio Morricone, Jacques Brel, and a very special signature twist on the Pink Panther theme.
Dominique Trixx loves the energy of a crowd and enjoys a very active performance schedule since her debut, a night which resulted in several invitations to perform, and the ball keeps rolling.
She has performed at the Toronto Burlesque Festival '08 and '09, Tease-O-Rama in San Francisco '09, in Michelle L'amour and Franky Vivid's Belles and Whistles at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago, in New York City @ the Bowery Poetry Club, and with the Chicago Starlets in the Best Group category at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas '09. She is also a performer with NakedGirlsReading, Michelle L'amour's acclaimed monthly reading series, and, yes, naked.
Dominique has joyfully graced the stages (or risers), and sometimes even bartops, in Chicago at the historic Music Box Theatre, at Bimbo's 365 Club in San Francisco, Sevens' Cabaret @ the Chicago Centre for the Performing Arts, Marche Restaurant, Motel Bar, the Empty Bottle, The Abbey, Strawdog Theatre, Chopin Theatre, Subterranean, Five Star Bar, the Lakeshore Theatre, Kira's Oasis in Dayton, Ohio, Urban DeComp Chicago, Joe's on Weed St, Trapdoor Theater, among other venues. She has guested with Spitfire Comedy Group in '06, modeled and performed for Dr. Sketchy's Chicago in '08/'09, and modeled with Michelle L'amour in Bordello '09.
