DOWNLOAD coming soon Greetings Vaudevillians!  Mr Pustra is proud to present a special 4 hour VAUDEVILLE & VARIETY   MASTERCLASS in 2012.   Vaudeville was a theatrical genre of variety entertainment believed to be  derived from the expression, voix de ville, or "voice of the city." The term  Vaudeville, referring specifically to North American variety entertainment,  came into common usage after 1871. Mr Pustra's masterclass will include a  brief history of American Vaudeville, Musical Hall, Minstrelsy, Freak  Shows and Dime Museums. The main focus of the masterclass will be  creating and finding your own character and 'act' within the Vaudeville  umbrella.    Advice will be given on make-up/styling/costume, self-promotion and much,  much more (plus goodies!). The day will conclude with a Q&A and a  performance from Mr Pustra.  This masterclass is suitable for beginners and intermediate performers with  existing skills in either song, dance, musical instrument, etc. Mr Pustra’s first  Masterclass in Rome was sold out and the next date will be announced shortly.  For more information, email: masterclass@mrpustra.com
