Burlesque Act Development Night

Peer Review & Act Development Night at Dupont Underground

Join us for a collaborative peer review and act development night designed to support burlesque performers in refining their work and building community. This gathering combines structured act reviews, optional filming, networking, and a casual costume swap.

Only 10 performance slots are available for peer review and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Performers selected for peer review will receive a 10-minute slot on the Dupont Underground stage to:

• Perform their act
• Receive professional, constructive feedback from a curated panel of experienced nightlife producers
• Optionally film their act for personal or professional use

All registered performers will receive a confirmation email, followed by a request for music during the week of the event.

In addition to the peer review component, this event is a space to connect, learn, and share resources.

Bring:

• Costumes you’d like to trade, sell, gift, or re-home
• Rhinestones or costume projects to work on
• Questions, ideas, or simply yourself

You’re welcome to hang out, observe, and build community with fellow performers throughout the evening.

All community members are welcome to attend, socialize, and observe.

Out of respect for the artists presenting:

• Audience members and fellow performers should not offer feedback unless explicitly invited by the presenter.
• This event prioritizes consent-based feedback and a supportive learning environment.
