About this series:
We'll discuss ways to improve your theatricality and your stage presence with better body language, storyline, makeup, and costuming. You'll learn not only from workshopping your own routines but from watching others workshop theirs.
The class will focus on act development and feedback, exercises and improvisations to hone your performance skills, and sessions on professionalization. This series is intended to help you develop your individual performance style while helping you rid yourself of bad habits. By giving and receiving constructive feedback, we will create a safe and productive environment to help us get to the next level of performance. Performance experience required.
"Lucky was the BEST professor I've had at New York University. She was captivating, intelligent, and funny!"

She has been hailed a "big, bad, bold drag queen" by Bust magazine and has been featured on NPR's Morning Edition, NY1, Time.com, Washington Post, among others. Though a huge fan of hyperbole, the prefix to her name is the one "real" thing about her: she is the only burlesque performer in the world with a PhD.

She is also a faculty member at the New York School of Burlesque and has taught burlesque at BurlyCon, CUNY, Burlesque Hall of Fame, Movement Research, and the Palace of Wonders, among others.
