Cinema Burlesque

Calling all movie buffs and burlesque afficionados!  This is an evening where your twin passions are married:  Bryan Skinner & The Rio Theatre present Cinema Burlesque!

It features two movies:

A mockumentary about a burlesque dance troupe Tumbling After from Victoria, BC and . . . .

A feature length documentary A Wink and a Smile from Seattle, Washington. 

A Wink and a Smile is a film that exposes more than the human body by putting gender, power, sexuality and social identity under the glittery spotlight, as it follows the lives of ten "ordinary" women who do something extraordinary - learn the art burlesque dancing and striptease.  It has been widely screened and enthusiastically received all over the US. Bitch Magazine does a full review and extensive interview as well, have a glimpse!

See you at the movies!
