Burlesque 101
6 classes
Mondays in September and October
6-7pm

This intensive course is created with aspiring performers in mind. Beginning with the history of the art, the course will walk you through all the steps to not only develop your first professional act but also prepare you for a successful career in burlesque. Ending with your graduation show at Sycamore Rouge as your first professional performance you will reap the benefits of your new education by experiencing the thrill of stage performance!

Both men and women welcome!

Classes include:
History of Burlesque: To become familiar with an art, it is imperative to understand its roots and history. Burlesque has a rich history in American culture (and beyond); this class takes you through the tidal waves of repression and expression from the 1800s to burlesque's near death in the 1970s.

Burlesque Revival:
Words twisted and contorted in time, burlesque was all but dead until strong and powerful women brought this exaggerated, witty and glamorous art form back from the shadows of the past to one of today's most popular forms of entertainment.

Character Development:
Before an architect erects a building masterpiece, a blueprint must be created. This same idea is applied to the art of burlesque. Whether you are planning a character for a single act or for your entire career some thought must go into what this character wants to portray to the audience. Will you be a smoldering temptress, witty comedian, or both?!

Magic of Music:
Music is the mood and you are the expression. Music is a crucial component of a successful performance and depending on length, tempo, and your goal picking the perfect music can be difficult. Learning what to look for in a song as it ties to your character will make you or break you on the burlesque stage.

Costume Creations:
"The difference between strippers and burlesque performers is that burlesque performers put all the money they earn into their next costume." - World Famous BOB There are numerous tips and tricks of the trade to constructing the most fabulous, glamorous, and ingenious costumes and props for performance - and then on how to keep them looking just as fabulous, glamorous and ingenious.

Memorable Movements:
Character, music, and costumes can't perform all alone; you need to put some life into them. Whether it's the classic bump'n'grind or the clever reveals you'll learn how to tease and titillate the audience through subtle yet significant movements.
