Bringing equity to the airwaves one member at a time

The Women’s Radio Collective formed in January of 2009 at CJAM 99.1 FM. Our mandate is to attract, train and retain female volunteers to create gender equity in campus-community radio. We offer opportunities for women to learn and develop broadcasting skills to produce their own alternative media. The collective fosters female empowerment on and off the airwaves, and encourages members to assert their feminist perspectives.

Genesis Does Burlesque

I was going write a well thought out SECOND post on Burlesque, because myself and Kate are hosting a special edition of Genesis tonight about the topic, but then I figured you should listen for yourself tonight, and THEN I'll post all the issues we discussed.

Burlesque is a form of theatrical entertainment involving parody and exaggeration. It's rooted within nineteenth century vaudeville theater and was later resurfaced in the early twentieth century as a blend of satire, performance arts and adult entertainment.

We're going to be looking more into the origins of the art, look at why it is NOT stripping, how it can be looked at as a feminist enterprise, and highlighting some of the contemporary burlesque dancers and how it has been adapted into our everyday culture!

Be sure to tune in tonight from 8:30pm - 9pm on CJAM 91.5fm, or stream it live from www.cjam.ca
