Please briefly describe your organization/group and its mission or purpose: Under the umbrella of variety entertainment, I will bring a unique experience that motivates my community to look outside of the box, and embrace the blend of the performing arts.

WeHo Pride Integration

In what way is your organization/group seeking to integrate with WeHo Pride? Option 2: Request City funding for a separately produced event.

Option 2 - Separately Produced Event

Please describe you proposed event: I will perform original songs with the circus cabaret Leggy Riggs. My show incorporates singing, dancing, and cirque elements. The show itself is fun, kinky, and full of a variety of talents. I will be working with a cast of illusionists, drag queens, burlesque dancers, contortionists, object manipulators, and aerial acrobats. So we would need a space to install our rig somewhere in West Hollywood park like we did on October 16th 2021.
Will you be requesting supplemental funding from the City? Yes

Supplemental Funding

Please describe how you would use the supplemental funding for your event/activation: We're going to use our funding strictly to pay our artists and technical team.

Agreement with the City of West Hollywood

Please note that, if selected, your organization may be required to provide insurance and enter into a written agreement with the City of West Hollywood. I agree
