A is for Audience

Why pick A for Audience? Simple. In burlesque, the audience is an integral part of the show! Unlike traditional theatre audiences, burlesque crowds are actively encouraged to vocally show appreciation for performers with hoots, hollers, claps, whistles, and requests to "take it off." The Fourth Wall is a theatrical term for the imaginary “wall” that exists between actors on stage and the audience. Burlesque performers break through this “wall” and perform directly to their audience and invite them to be part of the performance.

Audience engagement is an effective and enjoyable form of entertainment. As members of modern society continue to experience isolation as personal forms of entertainment become more common and accessible, a burlesque show stands as a event to bring people together. We love that burlesque is about shared experience!! Without an audience, there can be no burlesque.

The sketch, the inked drawing, the shadows , the colour, the highlights and at the end last is the combo of all. The most challenging aspect in this was creating life in the interaction of the characters. There is a harmony between the character interaction which helps to create the impression of a domino effect!
