CENTER FOR SEX AND CULTURE

Vixen Noir (formerly known to most as Veronica C. Combs) is back in the Bay Area and she’s excited to offer at a very discounted rate, two (2) weekend workshops from her world renown project, Unleash Your Fire Performance Project for Women!

Workshop #1
Tapping the Fire Weekend Workshop for Women!

Tapping the Fire is a performance-based workshop designed to empower women, from the inside out, using erotic performance art as a vehicle for transformation. Classes include everything from writing, theater and spoken word to instruction in the art of burlesque and striptease. We also use trust, intimacy, dance-movement, storytelling, and visualization exercises to help you tap into, explore, reclaim and celebrate your erotic and creative power!

Want to create a sexy performance for that special someone (or maybe yourself), add passion and vitality to your life overall, or simply be more empowered in your sexuality as a woman? Maybe you’ve considered doing a sexy burlesque or striptease number on the stage, but don’t know where to start or your courage ran out the back door. Well… Tapping the Fire will provide you with the tools and the confidence you need to accomplish what you desire in a women-only environment that’s fun, creative, life-affirming and sexy as hell! You do not have to be a performer to participate in this workshop. All levels of experience welcome!

Workshop #2:
Tapping the Velvet Weekend Workshop for NEW and EMERGING Women Performance Artists—Performance Art, Burlesque, Striptease, Cabaret, Theatre, Dance, Music (Singer), etc.

Tapping the Velvet is a workshop designed by Vixen Noir to help performance artists strengthen their performance capacity and intensify their impact on audiences! Vixen uses burlesque, striptease, writing, theatre/improv, trust, dance-movement, storytelling and visualization exercises to help artists develop sex appeal, humor, presence, innovation, dynamic, content, context, as well as props and costumes. Ultimately, Tapping the Velvet helps performance artists tap into their true essence— mind, body, heart, soul— and use it to fuel passion and vitality into their creative process and performances.
With more than 25 years of experience in the creation and execution of erotic, bent, twisted, classic, subversive, dark, comedic, theatrical, multi-genre performances, Vixen is excited to share some of her trade secrets, devising techniques; and offer constructive feedback/direction and more!!!

It’s best that you have previous performance experience (minimum of 2 performances before a live audience) to participate in this workshop.
