I remember being a baby burlesquer and being terrified of my own stillness. I was so afraid that moving more slowly would somehow cast a spotlight on all of my flaws and cracks. I was terrified to be vulnerable. Then one day I forced myself to dance without moving my feet. Just plant myself in one spot and be. It was AWKWARD AF! It remained awkward for a while until I mastered it. I realized that it isn't perfection they want to see, its the flaws, the cracks. It validates them. It can magically set an audience at ease when a performer looks approachable, regular, not perfect. It's actually a selling point! So, take your insecurities about how you look and cast them aside. Focus on how you feel instead. Catch beautiful, pleasing angles, play with the light, create a moment of sensory stillness. Take their breath away with your stillness and show them your cracks, flaws and all. So, in the spirit of vulnerability... Here's mine :)

Use your moment of nudity to empower. To shine a light. To make a lasting imperession. Nudity does not equate dirty. It can, and that's fun too but It can also be so powerful land innocent. This is a simple morning stretch, nothing fancy but so fun!
