Learning to Be Naked: Healing Through Burlesque

Learning to Be Naked reveals the healing, transformative power of burlesque. It’s hard to imagine a more vulnerable experience than getting naked on stage–and for some it is precisely this experience that profoundly changes their lives. Dispelling stereotypes about what kinds of bodies deserve to be seen and celebrated, the film follows several extraordinary and unconventional performers as burlesque strips away their shame, gently peels off their insecurities and slowly undresses their pain.
