EMBODIED is a neo-burlesque dance workshop for you to explore your Queer sensuality and movement, through the art of striptease. Over 90 minutes, you will journey from fully clothed to gloriously unwrapped through a curated, accessible burlesque routine; a golden opportunity to dress up, dance together, learn the art of the tease, and release your inner femme / themme fatale.

​

This workshop will step through the fundamentals of Burlesque and Striptease, with a focus on working the Queer gaze. Participants will have a safe, inclusive space to explore sensuality by moving their hips, hair and hearts, while feeling empowered and boosting their confidence.

​

This is a FREE 90 minute workshop for all, but priority will be given to participants who identify as LGBTQIA+, Women, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or as sex workers.

​
