Course Details
The Siren Course runs once a year and is specifically designed to help you create a second/new act or develop an existing one. It is for Spotlight graduates only.
It runs for 2 hours once a week for 6 weeks. You will receive expert direction and guidance from the course tutor alongside the support of The Cheek of It! Peer group to create an act that reflects your unique talents and that you can be truly proud of.
To be taken seriously in the UK or International Burlesque/cabaret scene you will be expected to have a minimum of two acts. So this course, complete with showcase, will have you literally ready to set sail! Or in this case Take flight!!…
Due to our usual UK venue being temporarily closed we have decided to do something absolutely fabulous and take you all to perform in Florence.
Once we have completed our Siren Classes in London we will fly to Florence for the most sensational trip.
All The Sparkle, Shimmies & Glamour You Can Handle
Fly to Florence
We will arrive in Florence on June 21st to be greeted by our hosts; the talented, warm and hilarious Viola Panik and Mr Punch.
Once we have settled into our accommodation we will dine at Enoteca de’ Macci. “Enoteca” literally means “wine repository” This beautiful restaurant only uses the finest homegrown Italian ingredients and will the perfect and most relaxing start to our trip.
On Friday 22nd we will have brunch locally and then head to The Theatre to rehearse for a our most enthusiastic Italian Audience. You will be performing alongside The White Circus students who will no doubt show us how to celebrate our success Italian style.
On the Saturday 23rd we will don our best pin up outfits and see the sites of Florence.
With our photographer in tow to capture us in our best ‘Post Show-We Love Florence-Glow’. Rony Cadavid is a very talented photographer and you will not only go home with the most stunning momentos but a lovely reminder of your international showgirl status!!!
And just in case you didn’t know…
Art is what characterizes Florence. And there will be plenty of time to soak up the culture. The city centre itself, which is UNESCO heritage, is a living Renaissance museum, so you can have a delicious bite of art and history just by walking around and visiting the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio,Piazza della Repubblica, Ponte Vecchio, Piazzale Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and the Botticelli Venus and sooo much more!
On the Sunday the 25th, we will visit the White Circus School for a workshop with Viola Panik
Inspired by the powerful feminine archetypes depicted in the art of Florence, Viola teach you beautiful poses and how to not only tell the story of your own character but channel the very Goddesses themselves.
AND FINALLY for our total viewing pleasure we will finish our trip by attending the famous annual parade of beautiful men!!! Well actually it’s called Calcio Storico (a combination of football, rugby and wrestling) that takes place annually on Florence’s Feast Day for it’s patron Saint, St John the Baptist. Basically imagine the film 300 meets Gladiator and you’ve got the picture. The much celebrated event ends with a huge fireworks display. The perfect ending to a Sirentastic trip.
