Collaboration in Burlesque Performance

Eaton and Shelby love working together and want to share their secrets to successful burlesque collaboration! This workshop focuses on how to work well with partners and groups in burlesque performance.

Topics include communication techniques, brainstorming strategies that include full participation, as well as how to avoid and resolve conflict. There will also be discussion of how to manage division of labor related to choreography, costuming, promotion, and more.

Bio:

Queertini Time is an award-winning, gender-bending burlesque duet from Austin, Texas. Comprised of Eaton Johnson and Shelby Mine, this comedic duo began performing together in 2004. Notable performances include the Southern Fried Burlesque Festival, Texas Burlesque Festival, Dallas Burlesque Festival, and the Fierce International Queer Burlesque Festival.

This duo was awarded Best Duet and the Audience Choice award at the first annual Southern Fried Burlesque Festival in 2011. More recently, they were selected as Best Ensemble at the 2013 Texas Burlesque Festival.

Queertini Time strives to create innovative numbers that question (and sometimes destroy) gender roles and stereotypes. Eaton's uncanny comic timing and Shelby's saucy style always provide for a provocative, humorous, and unique experience for the audience. Partners in life as well as on stage, this couple really enjoys "rehearsing" together.
