Producer Spotlight: CORVETTA CURVES!


These Double D's have degrees!

This racy red hot rod will leave tread marks on your heart and do a dance on your liver while wearing stilettos. Classier than a Buick, more curves than a Cadillac, and one helluva set of headlights! She will get your engine revving! She'll shine your chrome and boil your oil! She will run you down with a smile!

Corvetta Curves has been burning up the Vancouver Burlesque Scene since 2007 and presently sits on the Board of Directors for the Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society http://screaming-chicken.blogspot.com/. She is also a PhD candidate in the field of Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies (all that and brains too!). She has performed at the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival, Screaming Chicken's Taboo Revue, Kitty Nights, and a number of independent and charity shows. Know for sultry and silly numbers, seriously swaying hips, a dominatrix personality, a dangerous smile, crazy curves, body positive advocacy, and a love of jiggling!

Corvetta is co-producing the 2nd Cabaret of Copious Curves with VaVa Vunderbust and MM&ON Presents after a very successful 1st show in February of 2010. This make-out bandit will excite you in ways that you thought were not possible! Burning down a stage near you soon!

A Very Big Welcome for a Fabulous NEW Face for 2011...



Miz Ginger Snapz is a titty-twirlin’, theory-readin’, fist shakin’, high-femme, queer of color who has been bringing her special spice to stages for over five years. As Oh Snapz! Productions, Ginger produces shows which value art that is both entertaining and anti-oppressive, meaning it works to support all people in our various and intersecting raced, gendered, “queered,” shaped, and sized bodies.
In her spare time, Ginger is a doctoral candidate and instructor at the University of Washington where she teaches, among other things, a course on Burlesque and Feminism. She likes long walks on the beach, cupcakes, and zombies (preferably together). Oh yeah, and glitter is important too.


Another Exciting Performer for 2011! Please welcome...

Maya Papaya

Maya Papaya, the Malaysian Sensation brings a tropical flavour to this fruity basket of burlesque. Born amidst and raised amidst palm tress and ocean breeze, Maya loves to get sand and glitter in the most peculiar places! With a cheesy grin and showing lots of skin, Maya heats up a room wherever she goes!

Dollipop is everyone's favorite flavor of the week. She'll melt your hard candy coating with her sugary smile. She likes glitter and glamour and glorious silk, red lips, curvy hips, and chocolate milk. Money and power don't impress her, but she's a SUCKER for a man with a sweet smile and a naughty wild side.

Announcing our Performers for 2011!


APRIL O'PEEL:
Since graduating from Screaming Chicken Theatrical Society's Becoming Burlesque program, this comic cutie has titillated audiences in dozens of venues across Vancouver and Canada. Her sexy silly ways have launched her onto a fast track into the hearts of the Vancouver burlesque community. Proud accomplisments include dancing and co-choreographing for SHINE: a burlesque musical. This busty bombshell and crew brought down the house at Granville Island's Waterfront Theatre to rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Her efforts were noted as she was nominated for an Ovation award in the category of Best Gypsy for her stellar performance and cheery disposition. Other achievements of note include masterminding and performing in Screaming Chicken's entry for Best Group at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in the summer of 2010. April was also choreographer for the critically acclaimed Burlesque musical Greece Does Grease. Her work for Greece has been called "exciting," "hilarious, (full of) "sass," and "in your face." Recipient of the 2009 Vancouver International Burlesque Festival's award for Comedic and Satirical Brilliance, and voted as Vancouver's 3rd favorite comedian in the 2009 Georgia Straight's Best of, everyone's favourite blonde ball of fun has since returned to scene of the crime to help guide new performers into the magical world of Burlesque by co-teaching the very same intensive where she first found her start.
