Founded in November 2003 by the fabulous Jinx Jezebelle, The Halifax Burlesque Society is a non-profit organization based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Our members are a constantly changing group of self-motivated, creative people. We come together every few months to put on a sexy, hilarious, and exciting burlesque show to a sold-out crowd. Our shows create controversy and dialogue, while opening minds and creating a venue for creative grassroots entertainment here in Halifax. As a non-profit organization, we donate all of our profits to local charities.
* We believe in creating our own cheap entertaiment, outside the box.
* We believe in amateurs, immatures, and professionals. (Some of us are all three!)
* We belive in the power of burlesque to make erotic performance and nudity legitimate forms of expression. We emphasize that finding sexy dancing and stripping enjoyable are not nessecarily perverted. (while some of us work to keep it that way!)
* We are for anyone and everyone getting up on stage. Your size, looks, gender, race, sexuality, etc. are irrelevent, and there are no auditons.
* We support the right for performers to do what they want with their body hair.
* In traditional burlesque fashion, we mock. Humor is a subversive tool. * We are silk and pearls over tassles, evening gowns and leather, ballroom dancing and crotch flashing; low brow, high class empowered sluts who can't go too low or sit too high. Screw conventional notions of sexuality and gender!
