What is the difference between performance art burlesque, neo burlesque and classic burlesque? Ah the question of the century! In this class we'll learn that performance art is easily and often accidentally integrated into what we know as Neo-Burlesque. International Performance Art Star and Burlesque Queen Darlinda Just Darlinda is curating this series focusing on the alternative, narrative, humourous, political, queer, and quirky side of neo-burlesque. This series will feature guest speakers and practical Performance Art Skills to create Performance Art Burlesque acts.
