Teaching & Coaching
With a practical background in acting, theatre creation, design, and a rigorous understanding of burlesque through her academic studies, Força is available for one-on-one act consultation and teaching burlesque at private events.
Offerings
Lectures
In her lectures and talks, Força makes her scholarly background accessible and available to the general public— without the hefty university fees! Força draws from her experience as an academic educator to share her knowledge of burlesque and performance theory from an intersectional feminist framework. Força is known for communicating these concepts with clarity, charisma and enthusiasm!
Performance Classes
Força’s movement, stage skills, and performance classes focus on teaching the art of burlesque in a fun and inviting class atmosphere. Força’s teaching draws heavily from her practical training in acting, directing, design and devising for the stage, and her years of experience as an actor and burlesque artist. Força is well equipped to teach students at any level— from someone who just wants to connect with their body and confidence, to Bachelorette parties looking for a fun and sexy group activity, to seasoned professionals looking for feedback, and everyone in-between!
Burlesque Consultations
Have an act that needs some fine tuning? Feeling stuck in your creative process? Need an “outside eye” to help you put together a show-stopping number? Or are you looking to incorporate burlesque movement into your event, play, or film, and are not sure where to begin? Força offers private consultations for anyone working on a burlesque act.
What some people are saying!
(On “Reclaiming Exoticism” Workshop Series): “This should be required education if you even *think* you want to get on stage as a burlesque artist.”
— Knox Harter
“So much fun, so inviting! Very joyful, love the invitation to be fun, be silly, not take myself to seriously. Lovely to get in touch with my sensuality while still being goofy/no pressure to perform/get it right. Loved it loved it love it!”
— Taija Shonée Chung
“Such a fun approach to burlesque! Love how accessible the movements are and the focus on mindfully connecting with the body in a way that feels comfortable and GOOD. Thank you for a fun time!”
