FringeWorkshop: The Psychology of Burlesque & Performance
Med Kiki Chérie
Hva er Burlesque og hva er det som gjør at folk får selvtillit nok til å vise denne siden av seg frem på scenen?
Denne workshopen er en teoretisk innføring i den vidunderlige burlesque-verdenen som vi får en smak av i fredagens CultCabaret.
Det vil være mulighet for noen praktiske øvinger på gulvet, men hovedtyngden er teoretisk.
