Queer, Feminist, & Literary Burlesque with Dr. Stevi Costa

The Poetry Vlog (TPV): A Poetry, Arts, & Social Justice Teaching Channel

Dr. Stevi Costa (AKA Sailor St. Claire) discusses Queer and Feminist burlesque as poetry. She performs from "Striptease: The Untold Story of the Girlie Show" by Rachel Stein and shares her experiences performing with Noveltease Theatre and offers strategies for scholars, students, and arts communities to think about the intersections of burlesque performance, multimodality, and intersectional feminism. This episode was originally scheduled for Season 3's final installment, but was pushed to Season 4 due to COVID restraints and a turn in TPV focus to the #supportblacktranspoets).
