Just tossing around some ideas, trying to find a focal point for my work.
Several routes I could take this down/topics I could look at:
- Neo Burlesque - new wave burlesque
- Corset Training - the intentional disfiguration of the body through persistant wearing of tightlaced corsets.
- Boylesque (a new trend of male burlesque performances.... the answer is in the name)
- Historical context - looking mostly at burlesque from a historical point of view
- Fettish (need I say anymore?)
- Female Empowerment
- Fly on the Wall
- My own personal experiences/struggles as a burlesque performer.
Now, this last item on my list almost took me by surprise whilst I was jotting down these ideas. It was in fact something I had never considered making work about. From one perspective, I don't feel it worthy of a documentary, yet at the same time, this for me is the meatiest subject.
Oh, by the way... here is a link to a website i stumbled across with regards to the idea of corset training. If you dig deep enough you can find some really freaky shit.
