CANCELLED: Hook, Line & Striptease: The Essay Structure of Seduction
Due to circumstances beyond her control, Academixxx will not be able to join us this year. We are sad she is unable to attend the convention. Keep reading for the updated class changes and adjustments to today’s schedule.
A great burlesque act isn’t just seen—it’s felt. In this discussion-based act development workshop, we’ll structure your act like a compelling essay: a bold opening (attention-getter!), deliberate movement & reveals (supporting details), and an impactful finish (closing argument). We’ll also explore how to engage all five senses—using music, texture, lighting, scent, and even taste—to immerse your audience in your story. Learn how to layer reveals, refine gestures, and transform your act into a multi-sensory experience that lingers long after the final glove drops. Walk away with tools to deepen your act’s narrative, emotional pull, and unforgettable impact.
What To Bring: Note-taking supplies, and an act in mind you would like to refine.
Accessibility: Modifications provided for people w/mobility restrictions.
