To the POC performers looking for their lineage, the newcomers searching for icons who look like them, and the allies asking how to better support diversity in our local scene: this is for you. We are providing a space to engage with trusted material from Bella Sin (@bellasincle on IG).
Whether you’re looking to see yourself reflected on stage or looking to become a more informed, culturally-conscious artist, this history is essential for us all. If you love the glitter of burlesque, you owe it to the legends who paved the way through struggle and erasure. 🕯️✨
GoGo Shibari and Lucy are hosting a free watch party for Bella Sin’s deep dive into Decolonizing Burlesque History. Bella Sin has spent years researching the "hidden" archives, from Mexican teatros to the Black performers who headlined under the harshest conditions. It’s one thing to see a show, it’s another to understand the shoulders we stand on.
Let's learn together. 🤝✨
