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!

Burlesque is bodies and sex and dance and passion and comedy and tragedy and an art form based in absolute, total truth.
I can imagine you sashaying across the stage, whilst #JulietProwse sings from #SweetCharity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Charity – believe it or not an abiding memory of my childhood visits to the theatre in 1960’s London!
