Court's Cosplay is a queer, gender-fluid, and award-winning entertainer-meets-cosplayer. They call themselves a gender-defying dragon, whose favorite part of cosplay is being able to inhabit the character and put on a show. Cosplaying for a decade, Court has been seen guesting, performing, or hosting one of their many panels at conventions across the US and outside it too! A full-time performer with a degree in Dance, Court's strengths lie in ballroom, burlesque, drag, pole performance, comedy, and other forms of erotic showcase. Court is also half of the cosplay duo the Burnt Courthouse with their husband Dat Ashe Cosplay. They look forward to seeing everyone at Soonercon again this year.
