We’re here to showcase the burlesque scene in Atlantic Canada as a destination for live events, skills development, and community building.
Description
FREE COMMUNITY PANEL
Moderator: Beef Pattie Panelists: Jezebel Express, Monday Blues, Babia Majora, Tomboy Selleck
Art is political, and burlesque is no exception. As an artform with roots in mocking Euro-centric bourgeoisie ideals and the upper class, burlesque has always used glamour to poke fun and poke holes in our society.
The modern day artform has grown into a space occupied by people of every race, culture, gender expression, ability and body type you can imagine. All to showcase the importance of their existence within our society both on and off the stage. Through this panel, we will discuss the various ways many performers use their definition of glamour, resistance and inclusivity to show up, show out, and take off.
We invite you to come witness, see and be seen. Art is work, art is resistance. Glamour is resistance.
