SpeakEasy Noir – Global

SpeakEasy Noir is a living, breathing movement. A sacred rebellion. A subversive society for sensualists, storytellers, and soul-shifters. Founded by Switchress Shay Au Lait, SpeakEasy Noir began as an immersive class and performance ritual, and has since evolved into a network, community, methodology, and agency rooted in erotic wellness, sacred kink, and the healing art of burlesque.

Blurring the lines between dance, theater, ritual, and resistance, SpeakEasy Noir offers workshops, certifications, productions, and curated experiences that center power, pleasure, and play—especially for Black, queer, and marginalized bodies. It is a portal and a practice, a home for those who use movement as medicine, seduction as strategy, and performance as prayer.

SpeakEasy Noir is a hybrid platform that operates as a:

• Methodology of sensual movement and erotic embodiment

• Training and certification program for aspiring facilitators, educators, and performers

• Artistic network and healing community for those exploring identity, desire, and liberation through embodied storytelling

• Cultural agency and touring production company that offers performances, panels, and provocations across the U.S.

• Incubator for legacy-building, merging spirituality, sensuality, and business development
