Burlesque FUNdamentals with Freida Nipples
12:30-2pm
Join Freida for a fun class delving into the fabulous world of Burlesque! In this workshop we will be exploring the core aspects of The Art of Burlesque which will include a short history of the artform with special mentions of some of Freida’s favourite Legends as well as a brief summary of where the industry is at today. We will then do some basic movement which is the basis for most performances in modern Burlesque which includes strutting, bevels, poses & how to use your face as a tool of expression and connection with your audience. Following this we will learn a short section of basic tease-ography using opera gloves to the classic track ‘Sway’ by Rosemary Clooney & Perez Prado. Ending with photos & the opportunity to film yourself to practice more at home! This class is designed to be fun and open to everyone, from zero experience to seasoned performers looking for a playful experience with like minded people.
Tease-ography
2:30-3:30pm
Join Freida for this Tease-ography (like choreography but the emphasis on tease) workshop where we will explore removing something in a fun, seductive & playful way. In Burlesque your costume is your prop and this workshop will be about maximising that to the extreme including tips & tricks on how to make the most out of your costume whilst performing. Be that for a lover, a partner, yourself or an audience of adoring fans! In this workshop you can either use a coat with a belt (think trench coat but whatever you have will work!), dressing gown with a belt (silky ideally but fluffy is fine), with something that makes you feel your best underneath- from lingerie to leggings, whatever makes you feel good that you can move in will work. Heels or bare feet work fine but no socks to avoid injury however this choreography is very simple and open to everyone.
Age restriction: 18+
