Paco Fish teaches "Power in Silence" at the Austin Academy of Burlesque

"Power in Silence" (60 mins @ $25)
There is power in silence and strength in stillness. If you want to get
big laughs from your jokes and big cheers for your teasing, your reveals
must make an impact. In this class, we will explore stillness and movement
as contrasting tools for communication. We will focus on clarity of
movement, communicating silently, building tension, and creating strong
moments. Students should wear comfortable clothes in which they can move
freely.

About Paco Fish

Paco Fish thrives on duality. He is a dynamic performer of spoken and
physical comedy, burlesque, boylesque, stilt walking, clown, mime, and a
variety of other media. Most of Paco's characters exist in multiple forms
and his acts are visual representations of the transitions between these
coexisting identities. Whether playing a freshwater turtle in forbidden
saltwater love, a tramp with a deal with the devil, or the whole history
of modern France, Paco dismantles assumptions and defies convention with
humor and passion. He is the founder of Baltimore's Sticky Buns Burlesque
and currently holds the titles, "King of Southern Exposure," "King of
Carolina Sweet Tease," and "Most Humorous" from both the Great Burlesque
Exposition and The Carolina Burlesque Festival.

"The Burlesque Vanguard Tour" is a year-long, international burlesque tour
organized by boylesquer, Paco Fish. The 52-week tour will be spent living

states, the District of Columbia, and 3 Canadian provinces. Throughout
the journey, Paco will be joining local performers for a different live
entertainment experience each night, and documenting his adventures at
