About our past productions
Sara James produced her first show NINE INCH HEELS at Dante’s in Portland, Oregon in May 2024 in order to give local pole dancers an independent platform to showcase their art. The show sold out quickly and was a thrilling success. Sara James has gone on to produce a Maynard tribute show SINS IN THE SPIRAL in 2025, and created an aerial burlesque production company Dare and Derriere, which she produces out of Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland, OR.
SINS IN THE SPIRAL:
Seductive Cabaret Tribute to Maynard
Sunday May 18, 2025

NINE INCH HEELS is back with a cabaret tribute to Maynard James Keenan of Tool, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle. Featuring a dynamic lineup of Portland burlesque, drag, aerial, pole, and flow artists, this show celebrates Keenan's provocative genius with performances as sensual and enigmatic as his music.
Prepare to be mesmerized by evocative interpretations that spiral through themes of desire, sin, and transformation, blending sensuality with the ethereal. "Sins in the Spiral" invites you to surrender to the tension, beauty, and chaos of a truly immersive, multidisciplinary experience.
