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!

Merkins and more! A chance to show the world what I’m made of and do it covered in sequins! It’s a way of expressing raw emotions and powerful individuality whilst on a platform entertaining others.
It allows me to have a creative outlet for my dance history, my constant need to make things and always have something to work towards.
The cabaret life style is a fabulous one. Being surrounded by like-minded people who also feel as passionate about performing as I do, not to mention the constant source of humour, drama and most importantly the friends i’ve made on the way.
