From Kiki Chérie get ready to learn:
1. The Psychology of Burlesque
Kiki Chérie’s lecture The Psychology of Burlesque is a captivating deep dive into the emotional and psychological power of performance. It’s not just about feathers and rhinestones, it’s about identity, confidence, and the transformative magic of creative expression.
In this session, Kiki offers a theoretical introduction to the world of burlesque; we’ll move through dance and embodied movement, connecting performance to mental health and confidence-building. Along the way, we’ll examine intriguing questions like: Can we trick the brain into feeling more powerful? and What does science actually say about burlesque as a wellbeing practice? Drawing from her background in applied psychology and movement as a health-promoting practice, she unpacks how burlesque can be a tool for self-acceptance, body positivity, and emotional resilience.
The lecture blends academic insight with lived experience, making it both informative and deeply personal. It’s ideal for anyone curious about the intersection of performance and psychology, or how art can be a radical act of self-love. (photo by Khandie Photography)
