The transition from Winter to Spring brings winds, along with an annoying coating of pollen that alarms us that transformation is imminent. Brittany Boudoir is in the thick of transitioning too. She’s in-between two spaces that society thinks should have little to do with one another, see the NBA.
Brittany Boudoir
Set Designer, Owner Le Cabinet Noire Studio
Regardless of her work as a stripper, she’s beginning to spread her wings into set designing. This additional business path is set to butterfly on March 27th in Atlanta with a networking mixer centered around her latest set design ‘Le Venusian’ at Le Cabinet Noire Studio.
In this interview she lets us into her headspace of what it’s like to be in-between, as a lover of elevated beauty and curating experiences.
Who do you think you are?
This question feels weighted. Like, encapsulate your self in 5 words; but I am Brittany. I am many things. I’m an artist, a dancer, a lover, a Scorpio, a studio owner, a storyteller. That’s all I have for you right now.
The two industries that you straddle both involve a sense of understanding customers, how do you create memorable customer experiences?
I know it seems kind of farfetched to work in these fields. There are a lot of transferable skills: being able to get people to talk to you, to feel relatively comfortable, to entrust you with their desires, to let people know you understand what they want, and you can help them bring that to life. Sometimes customers don’t know what they want or they don’t have taste or vision. My job is to guide them to it—the art of finessing verbally and physically. The follow through is important, [in that I am able] to actually deliver a quality experience. I remind them that I AM the experience. They could have [chosen] any set designer or picked any girl in this club, but you went with me for a reason.
Entering into the set designing and installing space can be challenging while also still having another career, why did you decide to do it?
It feels intrinsically me.I feel like [set designing] truly feels like myself and what I’m supposed to be doing. With stripping & teaching dance, I utilize skills that I’ve acquired that align with my interests. Set designing & styling, along with creating visuals [is] what I was put onto this earth to do. Stripping is a means to an end. It pays the bills. [Stripping allows me to] make the most money in the least amount of time so I can have more time & energy to put into the things I care deeply about. I’m trying to establish my legacy. This is all a part of that journey and my truth of getting there.
Brittany sketching out her latest set install “Le Venusian”
Installation designs can range from extravagant to boutique, what’s a major part of your design process as you’re considering how bookings will utilize the space?
I’m prioritizing whatever comes out of my brain right now: sets that I like or that inspire me. You’ll notice hints of Hollywood Regency or Art Deco characteristics in my set designs. I think of the space’s design as how to integrate the [five] senses as much as possible. [I ask questions such as], what textures are being used, can the set be shot from multiple perspectives, what different lighting capabilities can be created.
Going back to having your feet in two industries that don’t seem to overlap, what’s something you wish someone would have told you when you decided to begin your set designer path?
I wish someone would have told me how expensive props are! Sh*t! Have you seen the price of drapes? Astounding. Does anyone have a curtain / drapery plug? I’m already out there lowballing everyone on Facebook Marketplace. Are there any industry secrets I don’t know about?
I will say though, starting from the ground up and slowly building my inventory on a budget does give me a nice challenge. It gets the creative juices flowing. [This phase is] teaching me how to design with restrictions. I’m learning how to shift the same props and give them new life, a new story. Restriction is something I’ve actually learned from and experimented with in my dance practice. So, I try to take perspectives and lessons that I’ve learned in dance, apply them and go back to the drawing board to get creative.
