Anti-Burnout
with
Mx. Pucks A’Plenty
SEP 26 | 5 – 6:30 PM
Artistic burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion around creative work. The symptoms can be hard to pinpoint. In this workshop and discussion we will dive into the emotional, physical, and mental symptoms and give them not only a voice, but will give them movement, sound, and color through interactive prompts.
As a performer, producer, executive director of a non-profit, parent, disabled human, Mx. Pucks A’Plenty has spent most of their life in a deficit of time, energy and resources. Being able to give their artistic burnout a voice as well as listen to their own has allowed them to use other methods of refilling their creative energy cup so Pucks can pour more art into the world.
Together we will share our methods for refilling our creative energy cups.

Known as the Director of Junk in da Trunk, the Michelle Obama of Burlesque, Seattle’s Own Mxtress of Thiccness and ‘“The They Them Yas Queen of Burlesque”, Mx. Pucks A’Plenty is a roguish radical always ready to ride the stage. Spreading their black queer magic where ever they go, Pucks is always in control. As a plus size queer femme of color and a vocal member of the kink scene, Pucks knows their politics, body, and sex are always potent and radical.
Pucks has a dance background in jazz and ballet. Pucks took to dancing as soon as they could walk with their song of choice being Push It by Salt n Pepa at the age of two! They use their musicality and stage presence to grab hold of an audience and leave them on their knees wanting more. A graduate of Miss Indigo Blue’s Academy of Burlesque 101 and 202 programs in Seattle, Washington, Pucks works stages all over the Pacific Northwest, as a guest performed for Rock Candy Burlesque and Mischief: A Melanted Variety Show in Olympia, Washington, appearances in BookLover’s Burlesque and Dante` in Portland, Oregon, the Body Political in San Francisco, and has been an international headliner in Canada.
