FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15: ️A CELEBRATION OF THE ART OF BURLESQUE! ️
It’s been YEARS since Mistress Cecilia’s first and last time on a burlesque stage… at least ten. But there is still a huge place in my heart for this funny, sexy and creative world of entertainment.
October was meant to be a Polyamory panel, but that’s didn’t quite come together, so I’m bringing forward an idea that has been on my mind for ages, a burlesque-themed evening!
We will start with a short presentation on the history of burlesque by me, Mistress Cecilia, then we will enjoy a performance by the lovely and talented POLY POCKETTE!
POLY POCKETTE hails from Hamilton and has been hanging around the burlesque scene for a few years but recently started bringing her own brand of silliness to the stage. You never know what Poly is going to bring to the stage, and sometimes she doesn’t know either!
Following her performance, we will enjoy a little interview to learn a bit about her fun and adventure-filled journey from fandom to the stage.
We won’t stop there! (More, more more!)
Have YOU ever wanted to learn a move or two? Poly and I will coach you through a couple of burlesque classics. Bring a scarf, silky gloves and/or a feather boa… something to help you bring out your inner sensual siren, playful mynx, ingénue or whoever else has been dying to come out. If you’re an experienced performer you will be more than welcome to share your skills with the group. If you’ve got a performance coming up please feel free to bring your announcements and flyers!
As always, participants of every gender and/or sexual identity are 100% welcome!
Enjoy The Staircase Cafe for drinks and refreshments before you join us next door at the Elaine Mae Theatre, which is the small beige coloured building immediately south of the main theatre complex at 27 Dundurn Street South. The cafe opens at 7pm and will still be open after our event, so you and others can relax and chat or enjoy their regular Open Mic night.
Our event in The Elaine Mae theatre starts at 7:30pm and wraps up at 9pm. Admission is only $10 (cash only, please) and attendance is limited to individuals aged 21 and over. If you’d like to ensure your attendance with an advance ticket contact me for assistance; if you don’t have cash with you when you arrive, then please bring that to my attention so that I may assist you.
Parking is available both directly behind the large red brick building and on its south side, the one that’s adjacent to our event space. You can join HOT In The Hammer from that side parking lot. It’s the small beige building at the corner of Dundurn South and Hunt St. with the colourful bird mural on its south wall. Look for three steps leading to a white door. https://staircasehamilton.com/
