Burlesque Drama Camp
Course Description
Combining her background in both musical theatre and team sports, Minnie Mercury brings to you the ultimate course in burlesque ensemble building! We'll teach you how to bring your own unique character to a group number where you can both fit in and stand out.
Drama Camp consists of theatre games, character development exercises and techniques and, of course, a story-driven, sexy AF or goofy as hell burlesque routine. Class will be ⅓ lecture, ⅓ games and exercises, and ⅓ choreography.
You will learn one (1) choreographed musical theatre based group routine for each 6 week session along with a deeper knowledge and understanding of what it takes to truly create and be a part of an ensemble.
You will develop stronger character development skills by means of analysis worksheets, theatre exercises, and group discussion.
The first 2 weeks of each session will be lecture and theatre exercises based; you should bring a notebook to take notes as well as wear something comfortable to move in.
The last 4 weeks of each session will entail more theatre exercises as well as the choreography routine; you should continue to dress comfortably but also bring a dance or character shoe for the choreography.
Students are expected to provide basic "dance blacks" (black character shoes, black fishnets, black bra, and black shorts).
