In this amazing class, Trixie and Monkey have combined their training in physical theater, clowning and burlesque to lead a structured playtime for the purpose of discovering new ideas, taking risks, playing, increasing connection to an audience, letting go of self-consciousness while improvising, thinking on your feet and utilizing your whole body. Perfect for burlesque performers, actors and actress, clowns, circus folk and anyone who just wants to learn how to have a new kind of fun.
After learning from these characters, come and see them perform at Belles and Whistles!
