Alright you seekers of glitertastic-gasms of goodness,
*JAZZ HAND SQUEE* It’s time for classes! Who’s ready?
An update – Wherein Sweet Louise Conservatory of Burlesque gets a pair of Big Girl Panties
Last year I told y’all that it was my goal to have designated studio space for the Sweet Louise Conservatory of Burlesque.
I dreamed of space for teaching and doing peer reviews.
It hadn’t in fact occurred to me that:
“Gee, some friends of mine will transform an enormous historic church into Kansas City’s newest most cutting edge multi-disciplinary arts center ( The Arts Asylum.) And Bee’s Knees Burlesque will join forces with the board of the New Century Follies and we’ll open the New Century Follies National Conservatory of Vaudeville instead.”
*BOGGLE FLAIL*
Beginning next month (July 2012), the artistic team behind the NCF will begin offering classes in all things vaudeville.
- Pantomime,
- physical comedy,
- burlesque,
- fan-dancing,
- stage makeup,
- costuming,
- how to succeed in an audition,
- and many more classes for all ages
will be offered by instructors Alex Espy, Damian Blake, Sweet Louise, Katie Gilchrist, and Annie Cherry, as well as other local experts, and also other nationally and internationally touring performers and artists.
Our studio was once a chapel complete with stained glass windows – a beautiful space to move, stretch, grow, learn, create!
