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!

Since starting Burlesque, I have gained so much awareness of who I am and what I stand for. When I am performing I feel delicious and empowered. I am able to express my sexuality however I choose and bring out my personality within the work. The community of women that I have met through Burlesque has been inspiring, sisterhood is ever so present and getting stronger each year. I love what I do and I love the people I meet because of what I do.
