Goddess Burlesque Workshop Held At Studios 353 4/5-5/10

Come let loose of your inhibitions and get comfortable in your own skin. In this six-week workshop, you will build a three to five-minute performance piece incorporating a strip tease that reflects your individual attributes. Using tools of physical theatre, archetypal energy, intuition, character exploration and imagery, each participant creates an original performance piece, receives feedback and learns how to further develop the piece, and then performs the creation while discovering how to be comfortable while doing it! Women of all backgrounds are welcome and previous performance experience is not a requirement. Performance at the end of the workshop (totally optional). Please note this builds from week to week, and you get the most out of it if you are available for all dates. Please see Teaching at www.howlingvic.com for Victoria's bio and testimonials.
