About this Event

The Crystalis is a incubator space for burlesque & variety performers to get professional feedback on in-development and already-completed acts.


How it works:

Performers purchase a ticket to be assigned a time slot. There are 6 total time slots available.


Each "slot" inlcudes the following:

  • Access to dressing rooms before and after each act.
  • A first performance, immediatley followed by MsPixy's live feedback.
  • A break to reset
  • a repeat performance of the number, during/after which any audience (including MsPixy) will fill out a very short on-line feedback form.
  • The performer will receive the results of the form that same day via email.


The audience is invite-only, but you may invite as many guests as you like . This can include: additional professionals from whom you wish to receive feedback, photographer/videographer(s), producers for whom you wish to audition your act, and/or supportive friends. You may be performing for the other performers' guests as well.


Performers are encouraged to watch the other acts and listen to ALL act feedback throughout the evening, but are not required to do so.


Instructor Qualifications: After graduating with degrees in Directing and Modern Dance, MsPixy moved to Chicago, where she began performing burlesque in 2001. She began a 10-year run with The Belmont Burlesque Revue in 2003, first as a Belmont Bombshell and later as the show's host and emcee. Her tenure as the Artistic Director of Geek Girl Burlesque (later renamed "Gorilla Tango Burlesque" by the theater's owners) from 2010-2012 launched the careers of dozens of talented performers still taking the stage in Chicago and across the country. MsPixy has also choreographed over 50 full-length musicals, multiple sketch comedy shows, and endless solo and group routines for herself, her own troupes, and others.
