Become a Sponsor!

We LOVE our sponsors! The Shade Burlesque Festival is currently looking for cash and in-kind sponsors to help make the 2025 festival a success.

 

Supporting Shade means amplifying the voices and talent of performers of colour with intersectional identities. This talent is often underrepresented and marginalized in the performing arts.

 

By backing House of Cheek Productions, you help us continue showcasing influential trailblazers while creating opportunities for emerging stars! This support strengthens and nurtures the growth and resilience of our local BIPOC performance community for years to come.

​

Interested in becoming a sponsor for Shade 2025? We currently have four sponsorship tiers below with numerous perks that are unique to each tier.

 

To become a sponsor email us at collaborations@shadeburlesquefestival.ca

Welcome to Hotel Zed, where boredom doesn’t stand a chance! Hotel Zed is more than a place to sleep. From retro rooms and suites to ping pong, disco and vintage treasures in every corner, we’ll keep you as busy as a ‘70s sofa pattern. Business or pleasure, your hotel stay should be part of the adventure.

​

Hotel Zed is launching The Love Nest, a room designed for pleasure, intimacy, and sexual wellness—perfect for a staycation or getaway with a twist. We’re about to redefine what a hotel room can be. The Love Nest isn’t just a room—it’s an experience; an empowering, inclusive, and sensual space made for connection and pleasure. Step into a lavish, 70’s-inspired world of velvet, modular seating, and mirrored walls that will have you feeling like you’ve just walked into the swankiest cocktail lounge. Every detail has been designed with intentionality to elevate your experience. Think playpen sofas and a tantric chaise, all while being surrounded by velvet curtains and five showerheads in the luxurious wet room.

Kitty is a Victoria-based fine art and conceptual photographer whose work explores emotion, identity, and the darker undercurrents of human nature. Blending elements of performance, symbolism, and storytelling.
Through richly textured visuals and metaphorical narratives, Kitty’s images invite viewers to linger in tension - between beauty and decay, control and chaos. Her work often draws from mythology, social critique, and lived experience, using the camera as both mirror and magnifier.
