Dancers Rewriting Their Own Stories | Los Angeles News

Jumbo’s Clown Room, once just a neon-lit haunt for legends like Lynch and Tarantino, is now a literary incubator where dancers are rewriting their own stories. No longer background muses, these women—like Cecilia Fairchild, whose memoir “The Poison & Spit” pulses with kinetic energy, and Danielle Henderson, crafting a sci-fi epic about control and surveillance—are stepping into the spotlight as authors. They’re reclaiming narratives of sex work and resilience, turning Jumbo’s into a beacon for voices long silenced—and proving the club’s legacy belongs to those who’ve always danced in its heart.
