Sat, Sept 27 10-11 am Free Flow Dance Centre 224 25th St. W.

Come learn how to craft entertaining, relevant stage intros that tell an audience who your stage persona is and what makes you unique. You will never again write, “Leave them wanting more” or “She’s sugar and spice” like every other Suzy von Strip. Tap into over a decade of my knowledge and experience of crafting intros (and bios! Not the same thing!) We cover how to write for voice, not words on a page, how to demonstrate, not describe, and how to help your MC to create a space for you to glide into in all your glory, and SLAY.

You’re working on a new act, and you bug your character… How to make it alive? How to embody it in your body? What are some good dance moves to give them? In this workshop, you will explore characters and their body language while making them express themselves through the right dance movements to ensure that the audience is captivated and glimpses an authentic part of you.

The workshop will be presented in 3 themes: Authenticity: your heart – Character: your guts – Movements: your head

To end with the work of the three ensembles in a group exercise (choreography or other). You will leave the course with new work tools and a new way to move your audience. *Bring something to write down and comfortable clothes.
