For many performers, the next step in their evolution is to start taking their acts on the road. While traveling is an exhilarating experience and a way to see acts/styles you don’t see at home, it is not without its challenges and frustrations. In this workshop, we’ll discuss whether going on the road is right for you, how to target out-of-town gigs, be a gracious guest, and make money. We’ll also touch a bit on how to upgrade your travel and make it as luxurious as possible.

In this part lecture/part movement workshop, we will explore the art of stillness, building onstage tension, and making your audience sit in the palm of your hand. Students will explore ways to work through nervousness on stage, embrace being the sole focus in the room, and take inspiration from multiple disciplines as we tell both ourselves and the audience... you're welcome. Some performance experience is welcomed.

Whether you are a headliner or have never stepped on stage, you need to have a brand as a performer. Your brand helps to define you, tell audiences/producers what you are about, and help you better tell YOUR story. In this workshop, we will learn what a brand is, how it is developed, how to use your brand as a calling card, online marketing (not just social media), offline marketing, and where to automate the process so you can spend more time performing.
