It's my first burlesque show, what can I expect?
Posted by Jana Edele | Filed under News
The Kittens are posed with this question from time to time, and our answer here is broad to the world of burlesque:
Burlesque is a form of theatrical entertainment. There are many elements that can be included on a burlesque stage: comedians, actors, singers, dancers, musicians and specialty acts. Shows can include a variety of different types of performers, or may focus on showcasing one of the burlesque elements. The Velvet Kittens combine all genres of performers in an ensemble variety show, alternating singer and dancer soloists, skits, stand up comedy, live music, and ensemble dances. Other shows may feature an assortment of independent solo artists or groups in their burlesque revue.
As burlesque is an artistic expression for each performer, the types of performances vary uniquely to each show and each performer. In today's burlesque scene, this has produced a large spectrum of performances, from costuming, concepts, musical selections; even what part of burlesque history is being revived on the stage. The best suggestion to know what you can expect to observe on the stage is watch video footage on line of the performers or show you are interested in seeing, and the marketing material on their websites.
Our ultimate advice is to approach a burlesque show as a combination of theater and a musical concert. Performers are playing a role or character on the stage, and their job is to simply entertain you with each routine presented on stage. Cheers and applause is always welcomed during and after each number, much like one would feel comfortable expressing at a rock concert. Flash photography can be disruptive to the audience, and may be blinding to the performers, so it's best to seek approval from each individual venue or show.
