Bizzi Lavelle, a Queer Wakka Wakka and Arrernte burlesque dancer, is revolutionizing the art form with her vibrant routines. Shes earned accolades like second runner up at the Australian Burlesque Festival and a First Nations leadership award. Bizzi is now delving into the history of Blak burlesque, honoring those who came before her. Burlesque originated as comic parodies of operas, evolving into a theatrical striptease mixed with comedy and dance. Bizzi, inspired by a hula hoop dancer, fell in love with the art form and is now teaching its full history in schools. Despite her success, Bizzi often felt alone as the only First Nations performer.
