Postcard announcement for a 1978 Robert Frank photo exhibit. Stephen Archibald has far more enthusiasm for art than giving away parks. Could Art Save Mabou?

I want to give another bump to my story on a project about the history of burlesque in Nova Scotia. Interesting interviews and great photos. I feel like this one got kind of lost since I published it on a Friday afternoon. Not paywalled. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/arts-and-cul...

This is so beautiful, the folks at @phabns.bsky.social are really working hard to preserve the long history of Burlesque in #NovaScotia. Going all the way back to the 1800s to the now Neo-Burlesque era, if you are at tonight's Atlantic Burlesque Festival, stop by their table!

In February 1924, male impersonator Pauline Travis took the stage at Halifax’s Strand Theatre as part of “The Broadway Scandals”. Her bold gender bending performance is part of a rarely acknowledged chapter in Nova Scotia’s theatre history.

Digging through Halifax archives this week for treasures! Shocked there’s no full record of NS burlesque history 😫 Just scattered clippings. But don’t worry, this labor of love is coming together….stay tuned!

It’s #TransDayOfVisibility and we’re sending love to all the trans & non-binary folks in our community. Today we spotlight Marinka, a trailblazing trans burlesque performer at Halifax’s Lobster Trap Cabaret. Her story lives on in her book “From Havana to Burlesque” 🏳️⚧️💗
