Not Your Average Burlesque. Queer. Consensual. Anti-Racist. Unapologetic.
This is a show where the performers can tell their own stories, not ones that are dictated by what audiences and larger society want to hear, but stories that are unique to them and that no one else can tell. To us burlesque is; storytelling, playing with gender, can incorporate spoken word, singing, acting, dancing and any other talents you have! To us burlesque is consensual: you get to choose who gets to see what, where and when, who looks where and when, what you wear, choose to take off, what to put on, and what stays on the whole time.
This show gives performance space to emerging, first-time, and seasoned performers who are people of colour, Indigenous, queer, genderqueer, trans, people of varying body sizes, people of all abilities, people from varying class backgrounds. We acknowledge that even within queer people of colour performing spaces there are barriers of accessibility and still certain bodies and genders don’t get as much space as others. We hope that broadening accessibility and representation will be an ongoing dialogue.
