What is stage kittening? Is it performing? Is it stage managing? It's both!
Stage Kittens play a vital role to any burlesque show, both on stage and off! In this class, Lefty Lucy will give you her 101 on how to get kitten gigs, what to do once you have them, and everything in between! Learn to network, pick up, and set up with aplomb!
In the theater there are stage managers, wardrobe supervisors, and entire crews of people dedicated to making a show run smoothly. In burlesque, these responsibilities often fall on the shoulders of the stage kitten!
But stage kittening isn't just a behind-the-scenes role; Stage Kittens get more stage time than most performers do, and it's the Kitten's job to make working look sexy while not stealing the spotlight. Many of the most recognized new performers on the scene got their starts this way. Additionally, Stage Kittening enables you to work with your heros, teaches you how a show runs, plus kittening can accelerate any performers learning curve.
Lefty Lucy is proud to pick up the panties! She'll give you her complete tips on how to be the best stage kitten you can be and how to get the most out of stage kittening. Learn what it is a kitten is responsible for, how to maximize stage time without slowing down or stealing the show, what to wear, and more!
This class is recommended for new or veteran performers as well as producers.
