Teasin’ Stories: Narrative In Burlesque

1:00pm – 2:30pm

Burlesque is more than shimmies, shakes, bumps, and grinds!- it’s an opportunity to use our lived experiences, passions, artistic choices [and yes, our bodies!] to craft a narrative for our eager audiences to consider and enjoy. Combining her years as a nerdlesque performer with an educational focus in dissecting narratives in multimedia, [and coming from a cultural lineage of storytellers herself!] join Androsia Wilde for a deep exploration into how she considers, creates, and adapts narratives into her burlesque practice – and how you can do the same regardless of the type of act!

Bring a pen and notepad to start fleshing out your own narrative inclusions into your future concepts – there will also be time for Androsia to help narratively punch-up existing acts!

Buss’ A Whine!

3:00pm – 4:30pm

A ‘whine’ is a series of rhythmic hip gyrations with a decidedly Caribbean flair- sometimes fast, sometimes slow, always enticing to watch, no matter who’s doing it! In this open-level cardio class, let Androsia Wilde lead you through the history and importance of whining to the Afro-Caribbean diaspora, as well what makes a good Caribbean whine when dancing- with isolations, technique variations and tempo-drilling to get you in touch with your core, loosen up your hips and work up a sweat!

Whining is for everyone!- this class is open to all gender identities. Bring comfortable clothing and water to hydrate yourself. Shoes are not required!
