Lotte Driessen

Lotte is a queer multidisciplinary artist that takes the stage with fire and confidence. Under the artist name REDXMPTION, Lotte creates powerful fantasies and hopes to inspire others in their own sexual liberation with sensual performances that are vulnerable and deeply political. Their main disciplines are dance (including sensual heels, floorwork, burlesque, stripping) and writing. As a writer, Lotte creates spoken word pieces and monologues for both their own performances and others. 

Lotte believes that fighting stigma starts with open conversation and holding space for each other's story. Their main research question is: “How do we end the stigma on mental health & sexuality and create spaces where vulnerability is celebrated?” Lotte has found that community and education are at the forefront of reducing stigma and aims to someday build more educational spaces focused on safety and inclusivity. 

At 13 years old Lotte started songwriting, now, almost 8 years later, they write poetry & spoken word. In their writings, they discuss topics like social issues and self-love. After finishing their social work study, Lotte felt it was time to learn how to take care of themselves and found self-love in their artistry. Now at Dox, they hope to develop their dance and multidisciplinary acts even further.
