About

In this two day workshop you will create a burlesque act from seed of an idea to a performance! Peekaboo will teach you how to take your ideas into fruition and find your voice within your performance. Over the course of the two days you will learn some history of burlesque, have a movement class each day and work in groups and alone to craft a solo act. We will also learn how to give constructive positive feedback to your peers to help eachother grow their craft. The end of the workshop is a full show in the studio for each other!
