Hiii! I've posted this in a couple places, sent some DMs, and am still doing this research! Please share it with your burly communities if you're comfortable!
(Please forgive the copy & paste, or if you've already done the survey 🙏)
Hi! My (stage) name is Eden Draconis and I am an Iowa-based burlesque performer and producer. I have been performing for 5 years and producing for about 4 years. I've had the fortune and pleasure to perform across the midwest and even at some conventions.
Outside of burlesque, I'm a fulltime advocate for survivors, victims, and experiencers of sexual assault, domestic violence, human trafficking, and other gender based violence, primarily in Asian and Pacific Islander communities.
I have the honor and privilege to talk about burlesque at the National Symposium on Sexual Assault and Communities of Color, and want to get real data and insight from burlesque performers, producers, and communities. The survey I am posting has the ability to be completely anonymous and almost every question has a “prefer not to answer” option. My goal is not to re-traumatize anyone who would like to participate in the survey, but to get relevant data to present.
Please fill this out and share it with others if you can. ALL burlesque involved people are invited to participate, regardless of race and gender!
Thank you,
Eden Draconis
