Burlesque-ival
Inclusive and Diverse Burlesque-ival Festival
Burlesque-ival is more than just a performance space. We create an environment where performers feel safe and empowered to fully express themselves. Our mission is rooted in promoting body positivity and creating a welcoming space where every body is celebrated. We strive to break down stereotypes and show the power of self-expression through burlesque and cabaret performances.
