you have to be sure that you keep good posture when you are standing still otherwise back trouble later in life !!!
the time for tease ladies have the gateaux vivant girls as a regular feature in their events where the girls pose with cakes covering thir bits and pieces !!
choose a work of art / character / or stroy image you would like to get across and give it a go - you could be tableaux ing whilst people are arriving to your burlesque night . its always worth trying something different as long as its interesting or entertaining , its a great start
best of luck

Wow, I'd love to have done that workshop
It would be great to see more tableaux vivant - I've seen some photos of Golden doing her's and she look brill, but you can't really get the full effect unless you're there.
I've seen something similar, but not quite following the 'rules' by various performers doing burlesque through the ages....but I can't rememeber where - damn my memory, or lack of it.
I think it's fascinating and a possible development of the storyboarding I've started doing on my photoshoots. Deffo something to research more....
