Atlantic Burlesque Festival
Thank you to the Atlantic Burlesque Festival for supporting our history project and providing space to present our findings. Community support makes this work possible, and we truly appreciate all that you do to elevate burlesque in Atlantic Canada.
Land Acknowledgement 
PHAB NS acknowledges that the work we undertake takes place on Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. These lands hold histories and knowledge systems that extend beyond colonial records, including those maintained through language, oral tradition, and cultural practice. As we document and preserve the history of theatre in this region, we do so with recognition of the longstanding presence and contributions of Mi’kmaq communities. We recognize the importance of listening to and respecting Indigenous knowledge, and of acknowledging the broader historical context in which this work takes place.
