Description

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Team StarFox, which is made up of Laika Fox and Andi Stardust, Burlesque performers and Co-Founders of The Body Political, a San Francisco born variety show that aims to confront social myths about the body through personal stories of resistance and reclamation.

There are many layers to loving your body and this revolutionary production strips down to the root of it all!

In this episode, we dive deep into what it looks like to address body image in a performance setting, the vulnerability AND responsibility that comes along with putting such powerful pieces on stage, and more!

What We Talk About:

1. What being a white ally to people of color looks like
   
2. What goes into holding space for such a vulnerable production
   
3. The power that sharing the role of leadership has on the evolution of a production
   
4. Defining the full spectrum of marginalized people
   
5. The full meaning of body positivity  beyond just loving your curves
