CGiii Comment

WHAT THE FUNK?! A LOVE LETTER TO THE POC COMMUNITY is the story of the first inaugural What the Funk?! BIPOC Burlesque Festival, held in Seattle Washington, over a three-day period in August 2019. Follow producer and founder Kia Puckett, aka Mx. Pucks A’Plenty (the Femme Daddy your Mother didn't know to warn you about), in this labor of love as they explore what it means to rewrite the rules of burlesque to build a supportive community of performers for personal and professional development. See excerpts of live festival performances as well as intimate behind-the-scenes footage. Hear performers speak about the inspiration that drives their performances as well as lingering challenges to inclusivity and accessibility. Explore what it means to question cultural norms, utilize the body as an artistic medium, and live life on one’s own terms.
