This masterclass is designed for schools and burlesque courses that wish to offer their students a more complete and aware training of this art. In 10 years of activity in this field, between live performances and research work, I realized that often the history of burlesque is neglected, in favor of the only practical aspects of this discipline. In fact, knowing the history of burlesque is also very useful on a concrete level. Here’s an example: being informed about this culture means having an extra tool to create original acts that stand out among many. Knowing who was there and what they did in burlesque before us allows them to be inspired, reinvent, pay homage without copying, or go in a completely different direction. Any artistic choice becomes more conscious. And the end result will be better, fresher, as well as different from others. Knowing the history of burlesque is definitely useful also in the phase of choosing your character and the imaginary reference. In addition, this cultural heritage helps those on the road to professionalism to devise shows and events always new and original. To summarize: this masterclass serves to stand out!
This interesting path, which starts from the origins to move to the Golden Age up to the contemporary neo-Burlesque, is integrated by the vision of carefully selected visual and documentary material to ensure a complete and aware training of this mischievous and fascinating art.
Thanks to a perfect harmony of theory and practice, you will have all the tools necessary to create original and perfect acts, re-inventing
the classics or leaving your talent free to always give your best in enhancing your femininity.
Because in order to best express themselves in every form of art – whether it is music, theatre, dance or other – it is essential to know its theory and practice, but also its history and culture. The roots, the most important moments of its development, the characters that helped make it great, are all fundamental information to understand and “be inside” every art.
This also applies to burlesque. Yet, as I said, knowing the history of burlesque is definitely useful for the practical purposes of the exhibition.
