Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! I hope you’re enjoying Juneteenth and reflecting on the day. This week’s tip is a thoughtful one:
There is always more to learn.
Even if you are an expert (or think you are an expert) in a subject, it’s worth learning from someone else. You’ll see new perspectives and perhaps information you hadn’t seen before. A class, a book or article, a documentary, a museum exhibit — it doesn’t matter. Expand your horizons and get out of your comfort zone.
Just this week I took one of Bebe Bardeaux‘s Burlesque History Institute classes at The Chocolate City Burlesque Academy. It was on burlesque costumes, a subject you might think I know a lot about. And yet, I discovered costumes and costumers, both historic and current, and performers with whom I was I not familiar. There was even something I want to add into a class of mine, which isn’t about costumes. When the autumn session comes around, I highly recommend checking out Bebe’s classes.
Thus, I want to encourage you to come to my burlesque history class, A Who’s Who of Classic Burlesque, this Tuesday at 7pm. I’ve got stories of successes and scandals, video clips, and some museum artifacts to share. You might just learn something new!
