TRIXIE & MONKEY'S BURLESQUE BOOTCAMP BOTH WORKSHOPS

Joe's Movement Emporium
Mount Rainier, MD

Workshop #1: AMPLIFY YOUR ASSETS
All levels. This workshop will lead you to discover, sharpen and magnify your unique physicality and personality in a burlesque style. Whether you are a burlesque virgin, or a professional, we'll help you pull out an EVEN bigger, bolder persona for use on stage and in life. Through a combination of movement lessons, improv exercises, writing, performance games and critiques you will learn to embody our first rule inside and out: MAKE IT BIGGER. Bring sexy costume pieces (if you have them) to use in class- ie: boa, gloves, gown, heels, bra and undies. Can be worn over dance clothes for warmth/comfort. DRESS WARM & FOR MOVEMENT BUT BRING YOUR HEELS! IT MAY BE COLD IN THE SPACE!

WORKSHOP #2: BIGGER RISK= BIGGER REWARD
Suitable for intermediate/advanced performers. This workshop will use a circus approach to push your burlesque act to its limits- we will roll, jump, climb, manipulate and test gravity while incorporating burlesque props such as boas, chairs, fans, heels, etc We will be inventing and attempting moves that require spotters/assistants to learn. We will adapt exercises to all levels, but the class is highly recommended to performers with an existing act (can be any style of performance that would be in a variety show: singing, burlesque, bellydance, juggling, hula hoop, etc). Dress to roll around on the floor, wear layers as it may be cold in the space, also bring one prop you are currently interested in, if you have one.

Note: Bring lunch, water, clothes you can move in, questions.
