nerd·lesque; noun
/nərdˈlesk/
A burlesque and variety show intertwined in the world of geeks and nerds.
Texan Heat Nerdlesque, or "THN", is a proudly queer-owned diverse group of passionate individuals all dedicated to their chosen craft and characters. Each of us come from a variety of performance backgrounds and our members have shown proficiency in: Hooping, belly dance, levi wand, poi, veil fans, Isis wings, staff, and more. In terms of aerial arts, we currently have members skilled in silks, sling, lyra, and trapeze. We also proudly showcase local and out-of-state performance guests with every show we do.
​
We all take the time to get to know our characters to ensure that we can best portray them. Nobody is perfect and we do have an intimate relationship with Murphy's Law; however, we do not let that deter us from putting on a performance that convention attendees will cheer their hearts out for; as well as panels that inform and educate attendees about burlesque, nerdlesque, and other cosplay and performance arts aspects. We have been interviewed by the likes of Five Geeks Blog and The Nerdery and we were featured on The Arkansas CW and PBCommercial for their feature of Konsplosion.
