When we created the Bristol Burlesque Festival 2014, we asked each applicant one important question: “What is Burlesque to you?” The answers made us laugh and cry and marvel at the beautiful variety our chosen art form presents. We’ll be sharing some of these responses with you in the CoochieCrunch Advent Calendar 2014. Check back every day this month up to the 25th for a new piece of Burlesque Inspiration!

After years of performing in musical theatre and having to stick strictly to the book, I find Burlesque so freeing as it enables me to create personas and just run with them, there is no right or wrong, just your own expression and bringing to an audience exactly what you have in your heart and mind, it’s an amazing feeling.
