Live Performance
Cooper appears and performs live at club, casino, circuit parties, corporate and special events. Due to the popularity and longevity of "Deeper Love", known as "Pride", she frequently appears at GLBT events, Prides, and fundraisers.
In the late 1990s Ms. Cooper's Personal Appearance Manager Scott Sherman of the Atlantic Entertainment Group specifically developed for Deborah a new concept for non live music appearances, known as "track" shows, typically utilized in smaller venues and "one night" limited runs.
With her team of her Personal Appearance Manager, working with choreographer Luis Villabon, Sound engineer Henry "Butch" Jackson, AMS Services for lighting and effects; her costumes included designer regalia by Gianni Versace, Marc Baur the previous live appearance track show evolved into a portable production show fitting both smaller and larger venues.
A collaboration with dancer and choreographer, Luis Villabon, Cooper and manager Scott Sherman, a retired professional dancer himself, they purposely cast experienced, Broadway trained dancers; rather than customary hip hop shakers. In combining classically trained dancers: Jazz, Ballet, "show" dancing; with "street" and hip hop movement, including professional staging and meticulous choreography, her new look and style was established; thus starting a trend among similar acts.
