SHADE: Workshops

We are going to be seeing so much excitement in April! We know you already have your tickets to “SHADE: A Night of Colourful Burlesque,” April 14th, but did you know that we also have workshops happening April 13th & 14th?!

Workshops are $20 each, and money can be sent via e-transfer to cherry.cheeks@hotmail.com with the title of which workshop(s) you are participating in. Workshops are open to people of all backgrounds, all disciplines, and both performers and non performers. We have some spaces saved in both workshops for low income performers, so please feel free to reach out to Cherry Cheeks, and we will discuss options.

**The Costume Narrative w/ Scarlet Delirium $20**
***Saturday, April 13th***

Class will focus on the “Costume Narrative.” This is a powerful tool and visual aid for the storyline of a routine, be it fully formed or loosely strung together. Learn how to make simple and impactful costume decisions, explore the who, what, where and why of your own Costume Narrative, and get comfortable with the evolutionary processes of your costumes.

Class will include examples and creative processes of Scarlet Delirium’s personal collection of handmade costumes. From extravagant builds to thrifty finds, and how they all tie together to aid in the story of a routine to the captive audience.

****What to bring: A Pen, Notebook, and your imaginations!

Scarlet Delirium is a graduate of the Capilano University Costuming for Stage and Screen program. She works in the Costumes department in the booming Vancouver film industry, as well as designs and builds costumes for herself and her Burlesque family.

**Sexual Healing Through Movement w/ Briq House $20**
***Sunday, April 14th***

This workshop will allow us to spend time together accessing the healing power of erotic dance. As Burlesque performers we often knowingly or unknowingly foster sexual healing for others who experience our art. This workshop is an opportunity use that same sexy magic on ourselves to move through past pain and into power.

Suggested things to bring:
*Comfy clothes and shoes you feel sexy in. (heels not required, no shoes is fine too)
*Knee pads, back pillows, canes, or other support items for your accessibility needs.
*Yoga mat, towels, or other items you can lay on. (coats are fine)
*Facial Tissue, water
