About this class
Burlesque is an art form that requires the performer to tell stories and express emotions in a very physical way, and whether we're onstage or off, most of us have complicated relationships with our bodies. This 2 hour workshop will explore how our connection to our bodies impacts our performance, and how our art reflects how we feel in our skin.
We'll be using movement, games, and writing exercises to delve into ourselves, tune in to each other, and set intentions for our art. Come dressed in comfy movement clothing (whatever that means to you) and bring a notepad and pen. Please note that this class is geared towards folks who are already performers, but you need not be a seasoned burlesquer! If you use your body onstage in some way, this workshop is for you.
About Lillian Bustle
Although her first burlesque performance was in 2012, she made her nightclub debut at the age of 14 as a singer in a drag show. She's been covered in glitter and boas ever since! Lillian has performed with burlesque shows across the tri-state area such as Rabbit Hole productions, White Elephant Burlesque, and Switch n Play, in venues like Nurse Bettie, Slipper Room, Parkside Lounge and more.
Her acts range from classic to comedic. Influenced by body-positive activists like Jes Baker and bodacious women like Bette Midler, Lillian busts through societal boundaries about size and appearance. She hopes to help people of all shapes and sizes celebrate in their own skin and re-define the word "beautiful."
