S7E193: Middle Name, Shenanigans w/ Harley Foxx

WEBurlesque Podcast Network ·

2023/07/24

"It's nice having people inspire you on different levels, on stage, off stage; see how they support the burlesque community and each other, and we become each others' family. And especially when you don't have a family or a good support system, theatre becomes your support system; the stage becomes sometimes your therapy, costuming becomes your therapy." Dancer, instructor, clown, and person of so many trades Harley Foxx (Albany, NY) sits with Viktor Devonne to talk about all kinds of things, from

WEBurlesque Podcast Network ·

2023/07/03

"Sexuality and sensuality isn't always defined by the physical. What people find sexy is you being comfortable in your body and your own spirit, and how you move throughout the world. I don't care if that's you embracing being the hugest nerd on the planet or you being a sexpot, or however that changes in any moment. For me, most recently, I am deeply examining and enjoying the concept of being a joyous person because I've spent a lot of years, not. What does it mean to be someone who is happy,

I've lost out on work... I went into what made sense to me. I always express my queer identity [on stage]; I think all my acts have very much a queer sensibility, either by the music choice or te costuming or what I'm showing on stage... the

2023/06/12

"I am at a point where I want to create acts that mean a lot to me...

We talk about Marie's development in the field of burlesque, her connection to the island of enchantment, pin-up, cultural pride, conservatism, blue laws, and good cocina criolla!

S7E186: The Real Red Velvet Burlesque

WEBurlesque Podcast Network ·

2023/06/05

"When I hit 30, I was redfinding dance and refinding home, and finding other areas of my sexuality, and just experimenting in new and fun ways. That was a gateway drug to burlesque, but if I hadn't had those experiences first, it would have been harder to be myself on stage in front of other people, while I was taking my clothes off... I don't think I would have had the joy in it." Red Velvet is a trained dancer who has become a versatile, frequently provocative and disarming. A San Francisco

We're there to entertain, to create this fantasy for people, but that fantasy can be so many different things." The handsome charmer Chris Harder sits with Viktor to tell tales as a North Dakota export to NYC, who would thrill audiences as a silly, sexy boylesque star.
