Oceans of Time is a lush, high-drama burlesque reimagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, inspired by the sweeping passion and supernatural spice of the iconic ’90s film. Step into an immersive world of theatrical striptease, spooky-sexy comedy, and high-class camp, where we embody and conjure a love story powerful enough to raise the dead.
Oceans of Time explores and exalts the eternal dance between the sacred and the profane, delivering gothic romance at its most sensual: dripping, decadent, and utterly impossible to resist. We’re already thirsty to see you there.
Spend your Valentine’s Day evening with us for a night of dark desire, eternal devotion, and seductive spectacle.
Eternal love has never looked this good.

GETTING ALMOST NAKED
Film Premiere and panel
January 29th
7:30 PM
Liquid State Brewing Co., Ithaca NY
This documentary follows five adults who sign up for a 10-week burlesque bootcamp in rural upstate New York—
the kind of bootcamp where bodies soften, confidence sharpens, and community changes everything.
Born from the spirit of Bees Knees Burlesque & Pole Academy, Getting Almost Naked captures what happens inside our studio every day: people showing up unsure, staying curious, and leaving transformed.
Come witness the magic that happens when we dare to be seen.
*produced and edited by Austin Bunn cinematography by Karen Rodriguez, Fabio Morelli and the students in Cornell's Rural Humanities Seminar
