Why we're proud to be part of the Singapore burlesque club :) Go Sukki!

Digital connectivity provides women with a very public way to assert their identities, and liberate their bodies from injustice or oppressive social norms.

She did it!!! We did it!!! Well done to everyone over the years for joining us and supporting burlesque in Singapore. We're posting about her a lot at the moment! But our founder Sukki Singapora is flying!

We're proud to be part of her world, representing S'pore in the arts - well done x

Sukki Singapora is a burlesque dancer and activist from the Goodman Road area of East Singapore, who became the first woman to legally perform burlesque in Singapore in February 2015.

Sukki studied ballet as a child, and through her love of dance and vintage fashion she discovered burlesque. It became a powerful way for her to express herself, but it was banned in her home country.

Sukki relocated to London and after teaching herself the art of burlesque, she landed her first job performing at a local comedy club. She chose her stage surname “Singapora” to pay tribute to her heritage. Her unique routines and style have earned her a worldwide following.

After establishing her page, Sukki began to receive messages from women all around the world, praising her stance on self-expression and equality for women. She noticed that many of the messages were from women back home in Singapore, telling her she was an inspiration. Many of them asked for advice about burlesque and performing, so Sukki created a closed Facebook Group for these women called The Singapore Burlesque Society.

Through the group, women could talk openly about burlesque, trade tips and plan workshops in a confidential space. They bonded over how burlesque made them feel — in control over their own bodies and the way they express themselves.

Sukki and others from the group began to work with politicians in Singapore to lift the ban on burlesque by reaching out to them on Facebook and starting conversations about its value as a form of expression. After four years of activism, the ban was overturned.

Sukki, also an ambassador for the Sharan Project, an organization that supports South Asian women through domestic issues, continues to lobby for freedom and equality for women around the world.
