About The Show

Hot off the press, Luminesque presents SMUT CAMP: A Working Title - where the fantasies are filthy, the dancing’s fierce, and the stories break all the rules. Clear your schedule and prepare to get lost in our steamiest adventure yet.

Road trip with us through the erotica metaverse, as told by 400+ Heels dancers, pole dancers, and storytellers. From sweaty flings on faraway beaches to swoony tales of love that transcends time and space - there’s enough spice in this show to tickle all the fancies. ;)

Follow our prolific romantasy novelist, Eleanor, as she takes us back to the birthplace of her erotica career - at “Storytelling Mastermind for Unwritten Topsellers”, affectionately known as “S.M.U.T. Camp.” This famed writers’ retreat for erotic novelists is where the best steamy manuscripts are massaged into moan-worthy masterpieces.

Blush, gasp, and feel all the feels as we flip the script on age-old tropes, reclaim our sexuality, and hopefully inspire you to write your own naughty narratives. Get tickets to the hottest dance show of the summer - SMUT CAMP: A Working Title - in Vancouver at Celebrities Nightclub on June 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21 and in Victoria at Capital Ballroom on June 20, 21.

WE WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE... that we gratefully rehearsed for and are performing this show on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, as well as the traditional territories of the Lkwungen (Lekwungen) speaking peoples, also known today as the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations. We are committed to working to decolonize our business, and acknowledging the land upon which we create is one of many steps.

WE ALSO WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE...that dance is a part of culture, which involves and intersects with many histories, geographies, lived experiences, and generational inequalities. We dance to tell stories, which makes our modality a meaningful form of art that warrants respect and acknowledgment of its origins. Heels dance as an art is inspired and informed by cultures from the African diaspora, Latin American cultures, LGBTQ+ community culture, kink culture, and the sex work profession. As participants in and appreciators of these cultures, we are committed to dismantling the systems that seek to oppress them. We do so by examining our own biases, integrating diverse perspectives, investing back into these communities, continually educating ourselves, and creating a culture of accountability with our team, students, and advisors. We believe that by encouraging underrepresented voices and bodies to claim their space onstage and onscreen, we're contributing to building a world where everyone can shine.

As a show focused primarily on human sexuality, we now more than ever want to acknowledge that Heels dance, and thus this show, would not be possible without the tireless determination of sex workers - especially trans, Black and Latinx strippers & sex workers - to fight for the right to work & live safely. The sex- positivity movement that allows us to dance in varying states of undress on public stages was started by and continues to be pushed forward by sex workers. We stand with you, we thank you, we love you, and we advocate for you.
