The Signature Series: An Exclusive Path into Chicago’s Burlesque World
INTO THE SHADOW The Signature Series
A six-week immersive burlesque mentorship container
Culminating in live performance on March 27
Enrollment closes February 1
This work is not for everyone.
That is intentional.
Into The Shadow is a Signature Series for women who are no longer interested in “finding themselves,”
and are ready instead to become unmistakable.
This is not a class.
This is not therapy.
This is not personal development.
This is archetypal embodiment through performance, image, and presence.
What This Is
Into The Shadow is a six-week immersive container where you step fully into a single femme fatale archetype and allow it to reorganize how you move, choose, speak, and are perceived.
The work is cinematic, disciplined, and precise.
You will not be asked to emote more.
You will not be asked to share your story.
You will not be asked to perform vulnerability.
Instead, you will learn how to:
- occupy space with intention
- refine your presence rather than amplify it
- let stillness do the work
- communicate power without explanation
The culmination is a live salon-style performance on March 27, professionally documented.
The Archetypes
Each participant works with one archetype only.
You do not dabble.
You do not blend.
You inhabit.
Current archetypes include:
- The Architect – authorship, design, sovereignty
- The Siren – inevitability, gravity, non-performative femininity
- The Thief – agency, timing, unapologetic choice
- The Alchemist – transformation through discipline
- The Widow – endings, composure, aftermath
- The Oracle – knowing without explanation
You will be guided toward the archetype that fits you, not the one you admire from a distance.
What Happens Over Six Weeks
This container includes:
- Weekly guided rehearsals and embodiment sessions
- Archetype-specific movement and staging direction
- Costume and visual guidance aligned with your archetype
- One-on-one artistic direction as needed
- Professional photo and video documentation
- A live performance outcome on March 27
This is real work with real outputs.
You will leave with material you can use and a presence you cannot unlearn.
What This Is Not
This is not expressive chaos.
This is not healing theater.
This is not a place to process your past.
There is no oversharing.
There is no fixing.
There is no pressure to be anything other than exact.
If you are seeking catharsis, this is not the right container.
Who This Is For
This work tends to call women who:
- already have competence and experience
- are used to being perceived as capable but underestimated
- feel their presence is stronger than how it is currently read
- are tired of explaining themselves
- are drawn to archetype, cinema, noir, and power dynamics
You do not need to be a professional performer.
You do need to be willing to be seen clearly.

A Note on Readiness
You do not need more confidence.
You do not need more permission.
You do not need to be louder.
You need precision.
If you are ready to let your presence speak before you do,
you are already closer than you think.
