Sunday Chillout - Sunday 1 May 2016
Burlesque: The very beginning.
Burlesque has been used to mock, entertain, tease and inspire for generations. Learning this fun skill has been shown to increase mental and physical well being and is a kick-starter for self confidence. In this beginner’s workshop you’ll learn the essentials to becoming a bombshell burlesquer. Strut your stuff in the comfort of your own home with the easy tips and tricks you’ll pick up during the workshop.

Attendees will need to bring holdups, gloves and wear something comfortable, which allows easy access of the arms and legs.

Diversity Festival Buzz-ah
Founded in 2002 by Catherine Pugh, Buzz-AH! Is a musical theatre group based in Mold, North Wales whose objective is to develop a variety of skills, for people with and without disabilities, who would not normally have the opportunity to work together in the arts. Our aim is to show what a positive contribution people with disabilities can give to the performing arts, to dispel the negative attitudes towards disabled people and to combat social exclusion. We achieve this by bringing disabled and able-bodied members together on equal terms, finding new and creative ways of working and adapting each aspect of our performances to allow all members to perform to their full potential.

Through music, singing movement and dance all members grow in confidence and learn to work well together as a team, continually gaining skills and breaking down the barriers of exclusion. Buzz-AH! sees inclusion as vibrant and positive rather than simply worthy or charitable. Buzz-AH!’s public performances are of a high standard and demonstrate to the public the valuable contributions that all our members make.

In Buzz-AH! we see our members as being able, not unable. We do Celebrate Difference.
