My goal as a teacher and mentor is to bring out the best art and performance you have inside you. We all have something to say and talent to share. We just need help getting our act together. It’s important in performance to understand not in terms of right and wrong, but the best way to communicate your intent throught the performance.
Society trained us in the “right way” and the “wrong way” binary. I believe you need to learn all of the tools to do things successfully, only then you can break all of the rules purposely, and do burlesque your best way.
Back from BHOF and want to up start to prep for next year? Book a video act review.
