natura born

Wicca, a modern pagan religious movement, celebrates a number of holy days throughout the year. These holy days, also known as sabbats, mark important milestones in the Wheel of the Year, which is a cyclical representation of the changing seasons. The first holy day is called Samhain, which is celebrated on October 31st. Samhain is considered the Wiccan New Year and is a time to honor ancestors and embrace the thinning veil between the spiritual and physical realms. Yule, celebrated around December 21st, is the winter solstice and marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. Wiccans celebrate the rebirth of the sun and the return of light during this time.

She's hilarious! 'Nude magical comedy' is a new on one me *lol*.

With collaborator Mark Whitelaw, she created A Family Outing, a performance piece in which she deconstructed her own childhood and coming out, including appearing nude on stage alongside both her parents. I m currently finishing my chapter on music and for my taste this is a great example of use of traditional music A Shot in the Dark by Henry Mancini in a very contemporary way--which I suppose raises the question of whether music from the 60s is contemporary, which I leave to you to debate.

Wiccans celebrate the rebirth of the sun and the return of light during this time. Imbolc, also known as Candlemas, takes place on February 2nd and marks the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Wiccans honor the goddess Brigid and celebrate the first signs of spring.

One of my students just reminded me of this video, which I love:

Ursula Martinez is the performer who triggered the book "The Happy Stripper" by Jacki Willson, which I'm writing a report on--but you probably won't see it till after my manuscript is in to my adorable editor.

I think this routine deserves the attention it has gotten, and I really love it.

I read a detailed analysis of this performance art piece which attributed all kinds of complicated intentions to her and concluded that the final reveal was meant to be menstruation. Maybe, but I think it works however you read it.

So what do you think of the book "The Happy Stripper?" I found it to be a hard read; it's taking me over 6 months to read that book and I have yet to finish it.

Martinez is currently appearing in La Clique in London and I was really delighted to see this act performed live. She has the most amazing comic timing and is a charismatic performer.

Divina, I'll be doing a report later, as it says in my post. The short version is that I like reading dissertations.

Puss, I want to come to London!

And thank you both for posting--it's so great to have your participation!

I have been hella-busy with my degree hence the late comment on this one.

She's hilarious! 'Nude magical comedy' is a new on one me *lol*.

The most interesting thing to note was the reactions of some audience members, you could see who was appreciating the comedy that happened to incorporate the strip foremost, who was thinking 'I love to have the balls to get up and do that!' and the guys who were totally conflicted thinking 'now if I show any appreciation of this, will my wife think I'm ogling the stripper or into it for the comedy?'.

Anyway, great fun :).

Julie Atlas Muz and the Zombie Burlesque Controversy: Originality and Intellectual Property

Above: The Hand, performed by Julie Atlas Muz. Students have been asking me about what’s up with this situation, and asked about some scenarios. To make it clear, responding to those questions, this situation is NOT about being inspired by someone, not about two people who used to work together disagreeing about who should still be using the work, two people coming up with the same idea independently, or lifting a signature move, composition element, or gimmick. While those situations can be annoying, they are not the same as wholesale copyright violation. It is about a stranger watching and then lifting a performer’s entire routine, then teaching it to another performer. Seeing it, then doing it. The entire thing. I lived with Julie, and before that I toured with her, and before that I saw her do this act many times. I refer students to it as a an example of how to commit to a performance, and how to make the most of a small prop. I also describe it to students as the inspiration f

Above: The poster for my 2019 birthday party show at Coney Island USA. Poster design by David L Byrd. I always encourage my students to produce their own burlesque shows! They make new friends in class and build new audiences at student showcases -- their fresh energy is just what burlesque needs to stay exciting and relevant. Here are a few tips to get you started. There are many, many ways to produce burlesque shows, so if you read this and disagree with it, at least it will have given you an idea of what you don't want to do! If you have questions about a particular type of show, please ask in the comments. Also feel free to share your experiences as a producer, performer, or venue if you have different expectations or preferences than I'm describing here. Before you even start producing, visualize and manifest your show. Make a poster for it, even if it's just a sketch on a pad. Make a private online or print vision board with pictures of how you want it to

She and Whitelaw next created a piece called Show Off, which also toured internationally. The second performer in this piece is her ex-love Carmen Cuenca, which is made known to the audience as part of the performance. Their third collaboration is OAP (Old Age Pensioner), which opened at The Barbican in October 2006. Together, the three pieces constitute a trilogy "exploring self-obsession, identity and the artifice of performance".
