| Description |
The state of Utah provides perhaps one of the most unique environments to be a performance artist, particularly if the work includes nudity. Through historical analysis, active performance experience and radical adherence to the platform of burlesque, my research strives to create a case for burlesque in Utah to exist not just in the underground, but in the halls of history and academia as well. Burlesque must be taught about and analyzed as a critical and ever evolving piece of American history. Ignoring the effects that burlesque has had on current artistry, politics, other performance art genres and society is to deny an enormous artistic influence spearheaded by self-expression and fearless questioning that are hallmarks of many revolutionary art practices today. It is burlesque's turn to be not only taught about and learned about, but also recognized for its contributions to contemporary American entertainment and history. |
