20:00 MOVIENIGHT

During Pride Leeuwarden, Wild Ones transforms het Ruim at De Harmonie into a vibrant hub of body positivity. To immerse ourselves in the spirit of radical body positivity, wrapped in the flamboyant vibes of burlesque and feminine energy, we invite you to an evening of open-minded self-expression.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Are you ready to awaken your inner goddess, king or monstera and celebrate your unique sensuality during Pride? In this burlesque workshop, we’ll playfully explore the art of seduction together. I’ll teach you how to embrace your own sexy power through stage presence, a sultry gaze, and a teasing touch.

Feeling a little nervous? Don’t worry!

This workshop is the ultimate feel-good Pride boost: a safe, intimate, and celebratory introduction to the world of burlesque, where we celebrate empowerment through accessible movement, dance, and music. We’ll create a warm, safe, and judgment-free bubble where nothing is required and everything is welcome.

prelude history of burlesque

If you’d like to learn more about the origins of burlesque, we recommend arriving early. The evening starts at 6:00 PM with an introduction to the history of burlesque, followed by the workshop itself.

GOOD TO KNOW

No experience? No problem. This workshop is perfect for absolute beginners. We’ll keep the pace relaxed, the atmosphere cozy, and the focus purely on having fun. You don’t need any experience or preparation.

WHAT TO WEAR

Wear something that makes you feel comfortable, a little sexy, and completely fabulous: anything you can move freely in. Feel free to bring an item you can easily remove or play with during the workshop, like a button-up shirt, gloves, a flag, or thigh-high socks. No outfit ideas? No worries, Ginny will provide some fun accessories and costume pieces too.

ABOUT THE MOVIENIGHT

SIRENS CALL

A Film by Miri Ian Gossing & Lina Sieckmann

A nomadic siren in human form journeys through a scattered Earth, navigating biography, identity and belonging while challenging the intricate tensions between mythology and postmodern reality in a genre-defying hybrid of science fiction and documentary.
