A performance workshop in the American Cabaret Style
The PNW Cabaret Association and Jizel Music of San Francisco are presenting - an American Cabaret-Style performance workshop in Seattle. From Friday evening, September 30th to Saturday evening, October 1st, this 1-1/2 day workshop will culminate with a concert by Arnaldo! and Linda with performances by the participants and open to the public.
Arnaldo! Drag Chanteuse and Linda Kosut, both recipients of Back Stage Magazine's prestigious BISTRO Award, which recognizes outstanding performances, accomplishments and contributions by members of the New York cabaret community, will be co-teaching this workshop along with Daryl Spadaccini, musical director.
Arnaldo! Drag Chanteuse has been a presence in Seattle cabaret for well over 10 years and has performed coast-to-coast, as well as Europe and Mexico. Linda, a San Francisco resident, performs in cabaret rooms and jazz clubs in San Francisco and throughout the country. She has been teaching cabaret performance for over 7 years.

THE AMERICAN CABARET STYLE is a derivative of the European cabaret form yet differs in delivery and technique. While the former is much more intimate and subtle, the latter is much more theatrical and dark. The American cabaret evolved in the New York speakeasies and lounges, and was in its glory in the 1930s through the early 1970s. Many major stars such as Liza Minnelli, Barbara Streisand and Bette Midler, to name a few, started and honed their crafts in the intimate NY cabaret stages. In the 1950s, Frank Sinatra would spend the wee hours of the morning listening to the phrasings and delivery of cabaret legend Mabel Mercer.
