About this Event

Are you ready to get bodied? Flesh and Bones: The Smither Smash is a rhythmic "block party meets nightclub" designed to shake you to your core at Smither Park this October 1st. Featuring Houston’s Poet Laureate Outspoken Bean, Flesh and Bones will give you spoken word, hip hop dance, live music, burlesque, drag, and more--all hosted by OutSmart’s “Fav Host/Emcee of 2021” Blackberri.

Flesh and Bones will take place at the delightfully surreal Smither Park, an eccentric urban green space adorned with elaborate mosaic work designed by local artists. The evening will feature Houston’s Poet Laureate Outspoken Bean, award-winning drag legend Blackberri, R&B synth pop delights from singer Raychael Winters, popular hip hop dance crew EvE, and local favorite burlesque performers Peter Pecker, Roxie Revel, and others. Smither Park also features a glass elevator where we will exhibit performance artists throughout the night.

Drinks and light bites will be available. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in group games and contests, win a raffle for locally-made artwork, and bid on a silent auction featuring merch from local businesses and artisans.

Flesh and Bones: The Smither Smash is the second in a series of events themed around the phases of constructing a new building. It will bring folks together to raise awareness and celebrate The Q’astle, a new space that, according to French, will “provide the arts community with a breathtaking, welcoming, sustainably-built performance space in the 5th Ward.” The first event in the series, “From the Ground Up,” focused on laying foundations, whereas Flesh and Bones centers on the new building’s skeleton…just in time for October. Donations to the GoFundMe for the space can be made here. We invite you to hold onto your skulls, get your skin in the game, and join us for Flesh and Bones: The Smither Smash!
