Hello all i have recieved plenty of info back from audience members, now i need the performers opinions. I was offended to find out that most people who don't know what burlesque is think that it oppresses and objectifies women. I'm conducting a study for my uni work that proves that opinion wrong! If your a burlesque performer and proud of it, please fill in my questionnaire-

Neo Burlesque questionnaire 3-
Performers-

Your Name(Optional)-

On Stage name(Optional)-

Question 1)- For someone who doesn’t know what Burlesque is how would you describe it? (What’s it about? What does it mean to you?)

Question 2)- How did you first hear about Burlesque, and how did you get involved in it?

Question 3)- How did you become a burlesque performer?

Question 4)- When you perform how does the audience react to you, and how do their reactions make you feel?

Question 5)- Do you feel that being a burlesque performer empowers you or oppresses you, and why do you feel like this?

Thank you for your time, have a nice day.

An interesting book to read might be Girl Show by A.W. Stencell, ISBN 1-55022-371-2
