EVENTS
The Buffies
Dust-off your eleganza and prepare for a glamorous award show highlighting some of the people that make the Vancouver burlesque community shine. Plus catch some fresh new faces as they showcase what the new era of burlesque has to offer!
Full line-up coming in early 2023!
T.I.T Talks
Join us for sips and stories at this intimate evening of connection and titillating conversation. TIT Talks is a one-of-a-kind event offering unique perspectives on burlesque. This intimate evening encourages compelling conversation and shares dimensions of being a burlesque performer that are seldom discussed publicly.

WORKSHOPS
Anti-Oppression Progressive
TBD
In 2020 we included opportunities for the burlesque community to access meaningful ways we can evolve as industry leaders, producers, and teachers. In 2021, we continued this learning by introducing an Anti-Oppression Progressive that will cover topics including:
-
Fundamentals of Diversity - Equity, and Inclusion
-
Disrupting Unconscious Bias
-
Unlearning Anti-Blackness
Stay tuned post-festival for the remainder of our 2023 progressive anti-oppression workshop schedule!
