Naughty but Nice: Re-Articulations of Value in Neo-Burlesque Striptease
Gladfelter Hall, 10th Floor Chat Lounge
Sept. 27
12 p.m. – 2 p.m.
Free
Students can spice up their Thursday afternoon between classes with this free talk on the dynamics of neo-burlesque striptease. The first part of the discussion will focus on the freedom and empowerment burlesque performers are provided through their art. The second half of the talk will be on the concept of “tease” and how burlesque performers use teasing their audiences to their advantage. This talk will surely be mentally stimulating at the very least.
