Burlesque History & Ethics

Class Description

Instructors: Lola LeSoleil & Talloolah Love 12/1 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Price: $35 The history of Burlesque is a vast and surprisingly long one. Though most consider Burlesque as an art form to be purely American with its start being 70 years ago at best, it actually began long before then, and is deeply rooted in the class system of western civilization. Burlesque History & Ethics covers a vast swath of the history of "common man's" theatre, and why it is such an important part of western culture. We will then explore the ethical impact this form of theatrical storytelling has on society today and what its moral and political implications are for the future. This workshop is part of our Burlesque I, Burlesque II, Sultry Songbirds, and FanWise DIY. It is also available as an independent workshop.
