A graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy and Western Michigan University with a specialty in dance, Francesca Bourgault finds herself at home both on and back stage, primarily as a performer, instructor, and lighting designer. In February of 2018 she was invited to perform burlesque for the first time at the Stone Church during a Brattleboro Queer Dance Party Cabaret and has continued to dive head first into the wonderfully weird world of neo burlesque. Her stage persona, Patty Cake, is a smoldering 1950s housewife who is ready to melt your clothes off. When not performing as Patty Cake, Francesca currently teaches burlesque, produces Brattleboro Queer Dance Parties, designs lights and sounds for the New England Youth Theater, and teaches dance to the Professional Track students of the New England Center for Circus Arts.

Jared Williams [Leopardo] was first exposed to Capoeira in 1997. He began training capoeira regional in earnest in 2002 with Mandingueiros dos Palmares under Mestre Chuvisco in Boston. He received his first 'Monitor' cord in 2008, and has been teaching since. Though his capoeira journey has been long and often winding, he is deeply grateful for the ways in which capoeira has informed his movement, his understanding of the world, and has brought him such a huge community of friends and family. Jared is also a visual artist [RISD 1995], a father, and director of the Field Center, a center for contemporary dance and performance practices in southern Vermont.
