SLOW BURN FOR AWKWARD TURTLES

Does the thought of moving slowly onstage or even (shudder!) staying completely still sent you into a full-blown showpony existential crisis? Join reformed speed demon Jezebel Express to explore the pleasures of slowing it down. She’ll discuss the role of slow and still movement in live performance, and offer strategies for creating and practicing slow movement. This is an all-levels class, and anyone who is interested in learning a new appreciation for slow & sexy movement is welcome.

Oh, $h*t!: How To Slay Onstage (Even When Everything That Could Go Wrong Onstage Just Did)

Sure, you've rehearsed your act a thousand times. But you didn't plan on the stage being coated in slippery glitter (or the sound guy starting your song thirty seconds in... or your fringe getting stuck to your fishnets).

Seasoned performers always seem to keep their cool during onstage crises, and if you find yourself thinking "How do they DO that?", take this class and find out. Your approach to handling onstage mishaps will depend on your act, your performance style, and what's gone wrong, but there's always a way to handle difficulties with grace and humor and having a pre-planned approach to coping will help you shine even when everything's going wrong. This class provides both a checklist for onstage crisis prevention (you DID check that chair you plan to dance on for wobbliness, right?) and a practical tutorial on how to turn your worst disasters into moments that make the audience love you even more.
