Burlesque: comedy, dance, humour and esthetism

Hi Guys!

Version française ici

Today, I would like to introduce an art I had the chance to discover during my exchange in Australia:

Burlesque!

Be warned, it implies the progressive disparition of the artist's clothes ;)

BUT

it is, first and foremost, an artistic performance!

"Theatrical talent, intelligence and respect are of higher value in the art of ”being sexy” than monetary or superficial attributes" according to the official rules :)

I personnaly discovered this art thank to my drawing sessions, where burlesque artists regularly posed for us! There I met the wonderful

EVA VIVACIA!

She recently became 2nd runner up in Miss Burlesque Australia 

and she deserved the first place

Without further delay, have a look at the video of her performances:

Three categories:

Classic, the routine, music and style must to fit in the golden age 1920's- 1960's Classique:

Neo: it's modern burlesque. music, routine and style need to correspond to the late 60's to current day period. Here is Eva's performance to have a better idea ;)
