Neo-Burlesque

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A revival/updating of the traditional burlesque performance. The Neo-Burlesque (or "new burlesque") revival brings burlesque into the 21st century. Though based on the traditional Burlesque art, the new form encompasses a wider range of performance styles; Neo-burlesque acts can be anything from classic striptease to modern dance to theatrical mini-dramas to comedic mayhem. As with the earlier burlesque, neo-burlesque is more focused on the "tease" in "striptease" than the "strip." Audiences for neo-burlesque shows tend to be mixed; men, women, straight, gay, and everything in between.
