Niki Rush is a neuroqueer sensuous, stimulating, shape shifting entity with a risqué, critical, and provocative presence
A burlesque performer and DJ, Niki is a hyperactive, hypersensitive, and hypersexual vessel of neurodivergent femininity inspired by womxn, femmes, and queers who fxck with societal expectations of ‘normal’ ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. An expert shapeshifter, Niki adopts different forms to suit different personas all for your viewing pleasure. Her grotesque burlesque uses erotic dance, playful voice, audience participation, intense theatricality, and overall absurdity to reclaim stigmatised neurodivergent qualities and bite back with pleasure, joy, and unashamedness. As a DJ, Niki spins femme and queer focused hot pop, sensual R&B, and erotic electronic to bring the rush to the dance floor. She’s a dirty heady high that’ll leave you dizzy, lightheaded & slightly nauseous.
hot mess!
headcase!
heathen!

Using persona, dance, song, costume and text, she morphs into The Hysteric, The Dunce, The Manic Pixie Dream Girl and The Nymph – adopting the mask of each trope to then tear it apart and imagine something anew.
The series is in development - see below for more information on Niki’s Nymph, Hysteric, and Dunce - all are ready for booking! Acts can be tailored to the context, and can run between 5-20 minutes. Keep your eager peepers peeled for the final instalment, The Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

I will not be a naughty girl
I will not be a naughty girl
I will not be a naughty girl
I will not be a naughty girlNiki Rush is a Dunce!
A class clown, naughty schoolgirl, and all-round Bumb Slut…
She is bound to be disciplined and punished.
But now, she wants to be your A+ pupil.
She needs to take it slow and have some special assistance,
But she’s hoping to finally be a good girl, for you.

Hopeless romantic?

Wah, wah, waaaaaah!
Niki is proper hysterical.
She wails, she shakes, she screams…
A hot mess who loves a Jung man,
She’s crying out and rocking back and forth, ready to be your subject…
Shall we start the session?Images of Niki as The Hysteric by Martin Windebank and Diana Dumi - dressed in black
