Madame Bandersnatch's Finishing School for Performers

Our finishing school provides workshops and training for those in the performing arts - specifically burlesque, cabaret, and circus performers. The training we provide focuses on movement, comportment, character development, and the refinement of an individual performer's acts or numbers.

This group is designed for performers that are looking for a way to improve their craft without signing up for overpriced or extended classes. Everything is taught "a la carte". It's been my experience that a lot of performers don't really have a good sounding board or support system once they leave their formal training. And we all know how hard it is to make ends meet as a performer.

My goal is give you exactly what you need as a performer -- whether it's training, constructive criticism, or just an honest and supportive sounding board for your acts or numbers. The group workshops are designed as "walk in and learn". You won't need anything but your own desire to succeed.

If you prefer one on one instruction, that's available too! Just suggest send me a message with what you want to do, and I'll make it happen!
