Act Creation and Development-6 week course
Mondays 7-8pm from October 12th-November 16th
Showcase on TBA
A 6 week course to help you create and develop an act from start to finish! The course ends with the opportunity to perform your new creation at a showcase. Maybe you’ve made your burlesque debut but still want more guidance to make new acts or maybe you’re a seasoned performer who’s had an act idea that you just haven’t been able to get off the ground yet. This class will dive deep into exploring your intentions when creating a new piece and help you through the process of planning and developing your costume, character, and choreography. We will also play with some choreography combos in class to help students expand their movement library and work through blocks and challenges during act creation. A couple of weeks will be focused heavily on musicality including learning to listen to different parts of a song (vocal, beat, instrument) and try different possibilities for movement based on what part you're following and choreography adaption/expression to modify movements to fit the tone of different songs/act concepts.
Bring your act idea(s) to the first class! Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. As you develop your act and acquire the costume pieces you will need for it, bring those to class!
**PLEASE NOTE: This class requires a lot of work outside of class! You will be developing your own solo choreography and costume. You will also need to acquire all of your own costume pieces. This course is intended for students with a goal of performing their new act on stage in front of an audience. If that's not something you're interested in, check out some of the choreography classes instead!**
PREREQUISITE FOR THIS CLASS: You should have made your burlesque debut and/or be actively performing to take this course! We will not be going over burlesque basics so please take Burlesque Foundations first if you are brand new and looking for how to get started in burlesque!
