Published: June 9, 2016, midnight

b'This postshow Q&A was recorded on 9/6/16\\n\\nMira Fuchs is an expert. An expert private dancer. She\\u2019s also the public face of artist Melanie Jame Wolf\\u2019s eight-year private life as a stripper in a gentleman\\u2019s club. Mira wants to dance you through the myriad questions and contradictions of her work, that time and her world. In an intimate, in-the-round work, Wolf speaks, prances and twists her way through an abstracted memoir that trips between lap-danceand body politics. With humour, high heels and deep insight, she fashions a looking glass for our own reflections on the work of stripping. Leave your preconceptions with the coat-check and step into an oft-hidden economy of desire and exchange. Both entertaining and unflinchingly personal, MIRA FUCHS explores sexuality, gender,\\nperformance, intimacy, dance-as-labour, looking and being looked at, and pleasure, in a world where money is timeand timing is everything.'
