Burlesque Festival 101 as a Road Warrior

Service Description

If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting the festival circuit or taking your act on the road, this is your sign. International performance artist Joona Bae has been featured in nearly thirty burlesque festivals across the U.S. and five countries since their debut in 2023—and now they’re ready to spill the sequined tea. In this one-hour, lecture-style workshop, Joona will break down what burlesque festivals really are, how to get accepted, what to expect once you’re in, and how to maximize your chances of getting booked across state lines (and beyond). Get the insider scoop from the "Coolest New Kid" of the Silver Tusk Awards, and walk away with tips, tricks, and festival etiquette straight from a Road Warrior who's seen it all. Please bring writing materials—this isn’t just sparkle, it’s strategy. Cell Block #9 – Rachel Riot’s private home studio off Western Blvd near NCSU (address provided upon registration)
