Act Development Course
Are you thinking of making a solo debut? Wanting to refine your burlesque routine?
Get the right guidance and support for your burlesque journey through this intimate mentoring opportunity.
Join Grace Cherry in this intensive act development course. This is a mentoring opportunity design to take your act from an idea to the stage, or to help you make sure your solo packs a WOW factor!
Working across individual intensive sessions and shorter group events, this program is designed to help you take an act from concept right up to stage.
Alternatively, you might be an emerging artist with an act that needs a bit of refinement and some support for your professional development.
During your journey, you will also build a peer support network with a small group of fellow performers.
Through this program you will successfully perform a burlesque act to a live audience. But more than a one off opportunity - this program helps you build a burlesque network and start your longer term burlesque practice - whether as a hobby or as a profession.
