Arc of the Tease: Applied with Jonny Porkpie
The Arc of the Tease: Applied (for seasoned performers)
This advanced version of the celebrated class will help you get through some of the blocks that can plague an experienced performer, and rethink numbers in ways that will get you out of your head and back onto the stage.
Amazing costume check! Brilliant concept check! Incredible moves check! So why isn't the damn act working?
Some numbers roll out of our minds and onto the stage with ease, others we struggle with and struggle with and they still just don't click. So how do we take these troublesome acts to the next level? The answer: a closer examination of Arc, the rising tension from lights up to dress down.
Whether story number or classic tease, comedy bit or slow seduction, character exploration, acrobatic extravaganza, or all at once, a good arc can be the difference between an act that sits on the shelf and an act the audience is screaming for.
Bring a one-page written summary of an existing act to workshop in class.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT.
STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 2 YEARS OF PERFORMANCE BACKGROUND TO TAKE THIS CLASS.
(Note: This workshop will NOT be offered at BurlyCon this year.)
Bring a one-page written summary of an existing act to workshop in class, and a willingness to work on it!
