Joan Bessie Cabaret

Step into a world of music, movement, and emotion with The Joan Bessie Cabaret—a soul-stirring collaboration between The Joan Bessie Duo and four dynamic dancers. Known for their groove-driven, harmony-rich sound, The Joan Bessie Duo delivers an original live music experience that’s both intimate and powerful. In this Fringe-exclusive cabaret, their evocative songs come to life through contemporary choreography by Nicole Bennett, Laura Bartlett, and Amanda Zink—each bringing a unique voice and vision to the stage. Together, these artists weave a rich tapestry of sound and movement, exploring connection, release, and the cathartic power of letting go. Through lush vocals, raw lyrics, and striking expression, The Joan Bessie Cabaret invites audiences to feel deeply, move freely, and reflect on the beauty and struggle of the human experience. Whether you’re drawn to live music, contemporary dance, or simply seeking something fresh and heartfelt at this year’s Victoria Fringe Festival, this performance promises to leave a lasting impression. Come for the music. Stay for the movement. Leave feeling a little more alive. Embrace the vibe. Move to the music. Feel the release. This is The Joan Bessie Cabaret.
