The History of Striptease
Larry Mantle talks with author and dancer Toni Bentley about her new book Sisters of Salome (Yale University Press). It tells the provocative story of Salome, and details the “Salomania” craze of the nineteenth century. www.tonibentley.com During this period, four women brought the story of Salome to life, each escaping convention and creating her own freedom and notoriety. These performances became the forerunners of modern-day burlesque and the striptease. Local Exotic Dancer Emma Kiss also joins the discussion. www.emmakiss.com.
