Elle Eclectica

Elle Eclectica is at Bespoke House.

Bespoke House

The Hunger Games series was banned from multiple school libraries due to its depictions of violence — but let’s face it, we know that they just don’t like stories about strong women igniting the resistance against oppressive regimes.

I first created my Mockingjay act years ago when I was first dabbling in #burlesque. This itself was an act of rebellion—against puritanical rules, beauty standards, the patriarchy, and my personal experience with domestic violence and misogynistic abuse.

I was humbled to bring this act back to the stage with a heavily upgraded (and super dang heavy) costume that transforms from Katniss’ wedding gown into the Mockingjay dress. The cause? A banned book drive for Duval County schools, which in the state of DeSantis have removed many books they call “woke.” We raised over $300 and collected the books for local libraries.

Burlesque isn’t just about striptease —although there’s nothing wrong with that! It’s an art form, a type of theatre that can tell a great story and provoke social change.

Thank you to our incredible producer @ladymekaella who does so much for the #floridaburlesque community.

And thanks to @beingthevision for capturing these photos! Swipe to see my backstage selfie and a closer look at the Katniss wedding gown cosplay, which took many hours of layering, stitching, and glueing. Definitely my favorite costume I’ve ever created.

Our next performer helping out for this good cause: Elle Eclectica "Elle Eclectica began her dance journey as a young girl, and it wasn't long before she got bitten by the theatre bug. She's an avid storyteller and major nerd, eventually turning her love of sci-fi and fantasy into a passion for cosplay and costume design. She discovered a new love for burlesque as a way to tell stories and scintillate the audience through clever couture. A graduate of the Burlesque Conservatory in Orlando, Elle blends aerials, vocals, acro, storytelling, and occasionally puppets in her unique acts. She is now the Glamorous Geek who Defies Gravity!"
