What are Burlesque Festivals? Why are they important? What can I do to prepare myself for applications, acceptances and rejections? How do I afford them? How do I cultivate the networking skills to represent myself in the festival circuit?

With another wave of festival applications

 

opening up, this workshop's goal is to offer #burlesquePDX (and surrounding PNW teasers) with adequate tools for applicants to put their best foot forward in applying within the festival circuit and how to organically network.

This two hour lecture style workshop will be two-fold, festival ins & outs (everything from applications & submissions, feedback, rejection, how to travel on a budget, CVVs) and networks (presenting onesself, techniques, light marketing, beyond the festival!) In addition, this workshop will also provide you with a comprehensive list of festival applications opening this spring.

This workshop is open to all levels of burlesque experience and offers attendees the tools to better represent themselves and art via festival applications. However, it does not guarantee acceptance to any festival or showcas
