Dana Sterling

Lighting Designer Dana Sterling has been producing Amateur Female Jello Wrestling in lower Manhattan clubs for the past three years. The monthly event is organized by women for women, and features local ladies dressed as evil villains, super heroes, ironic stereotypes, and alter egos. By day these women are waitresses, lawyers, retail clerks, students, administrative assistants and artists, but one Sunday night a month, they transform themselves into femme fatales and battle it out one-on-one in a kiddie pool filled with Jell-o (actually, it’s not real Jell-o, it’s ‘Super Absorbent Crystals’ – the substance feels like Jell-o, but it’s 99% water, biodegradable and warm). Before the event starts, professional coaches train each wrestler in WWF-style wrestling moves including hair pulls, clotheslines, body slams, and holds. Each wrestling match is accompanied by NYC’s finest up-and-coming bands, electronic artists, and DJs, as well as experienced sports announcers/comedians.Interested in wrestling?
