PREFACE

​

Burlesque is performance art.
Performance art is not only a form of entertainment — it’s a form of expression. It moves people. It evokes emotion.

​

The Vermont Burlesque Festival is a gathering place for like-minded artists to connect, learn from one another, and showcase their craft. Through a variety of festival-provided tools, workshops, and performance opportunities, participants are empowered to evolve their artistry and strengthen their portfolios.

​

The festival proudly programs and regularly features a diverse blend of headliners, registered performers, and visual artists — entertaining audiences through both free and ticketed events. Many of these events are intended for mature audiences and will most likely contain a wide variety of disciplines, adult themes, explicit language, and expressions designed to entertain, stir emotions, and to provoke thought or perspectives. VTBF is a platform for art. 

​

Burlesque has always been surrounded by controversy and will most likely remain controversial.

​

Our Core Belief
We believe art should be accessible to all — and our community should reflect that. The Vermont Burlesque Festival is committed to creating a positive, fun, friendly, and safe environment for everyone, regardless of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, world views, body size or shape, or nationality.

​

We encourage all participants and attendees to:

​

• Be open and understanding of diverse themes and expressions.

• Be kind and learn from one another.

• Celebrate individuality and different perspectives.

• Build friendships and community through the arts.

​

We invite our sponsors, speakers, attendees, media partners, performers, and all participants to join us in upholding these values — helping us maintain a safe, educational, welcoming, and joyous experience for all.

​

Please take a moment to review our [Codes of Conduct] for further details.

​

We’re here to entertain, grow together, learn from one another and make the world a better place through the performing and visual arts.

​

If you live by a similar doctrine — we welcome you to join us.
