About the workshop:
It is misleading and false to believe that people on the asexual spectrum can’t be a burlesque or drag artist. It isn’t whether you are sexually attracted to people that lets you tap into sensuality, it’s all about drawing upon the richness of your connections to others. It’s not just about sexual attraction and this workshop will show you how you can explore what is sensual to you, what will allow you to convey attraction to your audience, and how you can be comfortable as someone on the asexual spectrum and as an artist.
