Abstract
Everyone’s got something to say about the politics of burlesque. For this slideshow, Editorial Assistant Adriana Disman wanted to hear from the performers themselves, and she invited dancers from across Canada to write a little about what “the politics of burlesque” mean for them. Some describe socially engaged acts, some talk about the reasons behind their decision to perform, and still others express a dedication to carving out specifically politicized space for themselves within the burlesque scene. While this slideshow strives to represent performers from different burlesque communities, it is important to point out that it not comprehensive, and more work needs to be done to represent the multiplicity of bodies and identities that appear in this genre (such as Indigenous, trans, and disabled performers).
