[A]mazingly useful and informative.” – Workshop participant, Angel La Vey

This ONE HOUR workshop (50 minute presentation/group work, 10 minute Q&A) is aimed at burlesque and cabaret performers with >1 experience looking to learn more about the business side of their performance work. It’s open to both male and female performers. There are elements that will cross-over into other areas of performance, but I will focus primarily on burlesque and cabaret.

In this workshop…

  • I outline exactly what branding is and show individuals how branding affects one’s burlesque career
  • I assess how every performer can develop and control their own branding in order to strengthen their employability.
  • I touch upon the influence of elements such as websites, promotional materials (including promotional blurbs), performance repertoire, burlesque-personality and introducing yourself to new bookers/promoters/agents.This is a fun, interactive and thought-provoking workshop, focusing on theory rather than practice. At the end of the session participants will be excited about thinking through exactly who/what lies at the heart of their burlesque persona and inspired to venture down new back-stage avenues in order to further their burlesque career.

Being new to the Burlesque scene it’s really helped me work out where my strengths lie and what my unique selling point is – which have been areas I have found difficult to idenitify initially.” – Workshop participant, Miss Betty Blue Eyes

Participants take away: A flyer (and their own notes)
