We are so thrilled to have Po’Chop as the headliner of this event. They are a highly decorated artist, who understands how to command an audience and hold their attention for ransom.
Jenn Freeman, who also navigates this world as Po’Chop, is an interdisciplinary artist
creating on the homeland of the Council of the Three Fires—the Odawa, Ojibwe, and
Potawatomi Nations—as well as the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Sauk and Meskwaki, Kiikaapoi,
Peoria, and the Očeti Šakówiŋ (Sioux) Nations. Freeman’s work weaves dance,
storytelling, drag, and st******se into worlds that both illuminate and interrogate Black
q***r life.
They are the co-founder of House of the Lorde, a multi-functional space rooted in Black
feminist praxis, co-producer of Notes on Masculinity, a beloved drag king-centered
cabaret and creator of The Black Burlesque Directory, an archive of black burlesque
performers worldwide. Their work has been presented at the Brooklyn Museum in
Brown Girls Burlesque’s Bodyspeak, the Harris Theater for TEDxChicago, and
headlined shows in New Orleans, Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis, and New York. They
have performed in Netflix’s Easy (Season 2), appeared in music videos for Jamila
Woods and Mykele Deville, and created experimental dance films such as LITANY.
Po’Chop is a board and cast member of Jeezy’s Juke Joint, an all-Black burlesque
r***e, and the creator of the blogzine The Brown Pages. Their work has been
