Winner Best Documentary at La Femme Film Festival and CA Women’s Film Festival!
Learning To Be Naked, offers a deeply human story that celebrates the transformative art of burlesque. Exploring how burlesque becomes a space for renegotiating shame, visibility, disability, queerness, and gender, the film dishes up a dose of radical body joy, burlesque sparkle, and a whole lot of heart!
Challenging stereotypes about what bodies deserve to be seen and celebrated, the film dismantles outdated notions about beauty, ability, and identity. Like a caterpillar metamorphosing inside a chrysalis, burlesque provides a safe space for performers to grow, spread their wings, and land on stage feeling more confident, beautiful, and free.
