Inheritance: Performances and Workshops

Inheritance is a profound and provocative journey through the feminine. It invites audiences to boldly examine, exalt and reclaim their inheritance and their lives as they know them. Through their ground-breaking theatrical show, Sinner Saint Productions thought-leaders present a raw, unapologetic and breathtaking look at what it means to be a woman. From dance, dialogue and poetry, to reflection, connection and action, Inheritance ignites the feminine in life-changing ways.

Listen to Cat's radio interview with Transformation Talk Radio. She has a conversation with Women of Wisdom Founder, Kris Steinnes, about burlesque and the Inheritance show.

Burlexploration: Defining Your Inheritance 
Burlesque is used to challenge internalized and institutionalize oppression, to contest the social-political landscape, to evoke joy, and to embrace feminine wholeness. It celebrates all that women are capable of by exemplifying female liberation. Discover what the art of tease reveals about the legacy of women. This workshop will combine performance art for personal transformation, embodied story-telling, and radical authenticity to explore the individual and collective inheritance of women. Surface the stories you’ve been bequeathed, and re-author them through experiential activities, burlesque exercises, small group work and personal reflection.
  • Reflect on and explore the personal narratives that inform your life and your art.
  • Experiment with exercises meant to bring meaning and new levels of understanding of your stories and legacy through movement. Expand and deepen your movement vocabulary. Increase your connection to your body. 
  • Embody your values in visceral new ways.

In the theatrical  production Inheritance, Sinner Saint dance company uses performance art to examine the external forces, and inheritance, that create who we are today.  View our promo video here.

The show blends Sinner Saint's internationally acclaimed and show-stopping performance art with a social justice platform that pushes the burlesque envelope. Get ready for what you already know and love about Sinner Saint's internationally show-stopping performances, plus the new ways we are weaving in feminist activism, intergenerational dialogue, and sensory spectacle in our exploration of the contemporary mythology of the feminine.
Inheritance is rooted in neo-burlesque, but is not a cabaret. It is an ensemble theatrical work, but not a play. It is political, but not a protest. Inheritance is the new "Vagina Monologues" - providing an exalted space to reclaim the feminine experience and use the female body as a tool for empowerment. 

Through modern dance, singing, visual arts, poetry and neo-burlesque, Inheritance challenges the most basic and pervasive assumptions about womanhood, power and the structure of humanity. It presents a world that embraces, understands and celebrates the experiences of women.

Audience Quotes
“I took my 14 year old daughter.  It blew us away.  I cried. I laughed. I examined some fairy ingrained, long standing beliefs I had about women and our role in society.  It also was a catalyst to some amazing conversation with my teen daughter and what it meant to her.  Frankly, it was life changing.  The women of Sinner Saint have crafted a masterpiece not to be missed.”
