Join us for an exciting weekend of workshops during the Copenhagen Burlesque Festival from November 15-17! We are thrilled to invite the stars of the show to lead a variety of engaging workshops designed to enhance your burlesque skills and creativity.
In this workshop, The Art of Doing Nothing, Shimmy Laroux will teach you how to explore the essential skills needed to build tension on stage and captivate your audience. Learn how to make your audience feel like they are sitting in the palm of your hand while embracing the beauty of being fully present.
