Burlesque Workshops with Lucy Lovegun
About
Workshop 1: Bigger Bolder RidiculousLearn from multi award winning and internationally acclaimed Lucy Lovegun.
Step into the world of character driven burlesque, where the tease is strong, the choices are bold and the comedy lands just as hard as the reveal. In this high energy workshop Lucy Lovegun will guide you through building unforgettable stage personas and using comedy as a powerful tool within your burlesque performance.
This workshop focuses on developing clear, dynamic characterisation and learning how to embody them fully through movement, facial expression and intention. You’ll explore how to heighten your performance using exaggeration, contrast and commitment to the bit.
Expect playful exercises, improv-based tasks and short performance moments. With an emphasis on comedic technique, you’ll learn how timing, repetition and surprise can elevate your act. Lucy will show you how to layer humour into your tease without losing the essence of burlesque.
In this 1.5 hour workshop, you will learn……
• How to create and embody a strong burlesque character
• Techniques for using facial expression and physicality to enhance performance
• Foundations of comedic timing, including beats, pauses, and escalation
• Ways to incorporate humour into burlesque while maintaining tease and intention

This workshop is suitable for open level performers.

Workshop 2: Lovegun’s Burly School of Rock: Highway to Heel
For those about to rock, we salute you.
Grab your air guitar because today we gather in glorious, questionable alignment with Rock n Roll. Where the moves are hot, the morals are flexible and the bassline is legally considered foreplay.
Lucy Lovegun will guide you through the ancient and highly suspicious art of moving like you’re possessed by a rock god who definitely skipped rehearsal but still headlined the gig. Expect character. Expect chaos. Expect burlesque choreography that behaves like it has its own band rider.
This workshop focuses on learning a fun, accessible choreographed routine set to iconic “dad rock” blending classic burlesque movement with bold character choices, musicality, and playful comedy. Lucy will break it down step by step, offering options for different levels because even divine chaos needs counts.
Musical accents will be worshipped.
Exaggeration will be encouraged.
And timing… timing is a rumour we are aggressively committed to.
And yes… there will be stripping.
In this 1.5 hour workshop, you will learn……
• Fully sick rock-god burlesque choreography
• How to layer personality and storytelling into choreography
• Ways to use musicality and accents to enhance performance
• Techniques for embodying attitude, confidence, and comedic flair
This workshop is suitable for open level performers.
Workshop Duration: 1.5 hour
Please bring:
• Water
• Clothes you can comfortably move in (dance shoes/shoes recommended but optional). In theme outfits encouraged, show me your band T’s!
