Join us in celebrating the current Pearle School of Burlesque students on May 10th, 2025! We have students from all backgrounds, new and returning, and for many this will be their burlesque debut. How exciting! Feast your eyes on not just solos, but group numbers showcasing our weekly students in the studio. Not everyone who will appear on stage plans to actively take burlesque gigs, and that is a-okay! We are here to support not only new performers but also those who used this class to learn about themselves and their bodies. We will have a tip kitten collecting cash tips between each performer's set. This is a chance to show these wonderful beings your love! Please come ready with some dollar bills to give to these ladies, as they have worked SO HARD over the past couple of months!

Some ground rules for this showcase are as follows:

Absolutely no photography/videography from patrons. If you are asked by the performer to get a video of the performance, the performer must let Venus know prior to the number so that she may allow ONLY that person to video it. Anyone else will be asked to stop and leave the show with no refunds.

We have a zero-tolerance policy on shaming of ANY kind. If I am made aware of any sort of communications being made, you will be asked to leave the event with no refund of your ticket purchase as well as not being allowed back at any Pearle Productions event.

Dark Mountain Orchid (Knoxville, TN)

After years on the fringes of the vibrant East Tennessee music

scene, Leslie put together DMO in 2002. Their release Luxury of Sin was, without hyperbole, an indescribable sonic territory

through the dark places of Appalachia. Unease and longing conjured from the places where old growth trees cast perpetual gloom on a land soaked in blood.

And then she disappeared....

She is back with Thrall.

We are so excited to be hosting an art camp for teens this summer! Art Camp Lou is art camp reimagined, where all you need is curiosity and an open mind to participate. Camp will be held for 6 weeks, from May 27 - July 3, with each week focusing on a different theme and project where students will have the freedom to explore several different types of mediums and methods of application. Students are encouraged to be playful and curious, with a focus on the process of creating art rather than the result. This camp is open to any teen artists ages 13-16 regardless of skill level - no experience needed!

Join us to discover new techniques, gain confidence in your artistic voice, and create lasting friendships that extend beyond camp. Sign up for the projects and weeks that work for you!

Weekly Themes:

1) Week 1: Polish Poster Design : May 27 - May 30 - Students will create

their own posters influenced by the bright and colorful mid-century Polish Poster designs. Students will use collage, markers, and printmaking techniques to create layers, texture, and patterns.

2) Week 2: Mini to Max : June 2 - June 6 - Students will transform their doodles into larger, more detailed pieces of artwork, expanding on their original designs. We will learn about color theory, color design, pattern design, and replication techniques, while using watercolors, collage, markers, and oil pastels.

3) Week 3 : Picasso Portraits : June 9 - June 13 - This week, it's all about making bold, surprising self-portraits! Students will dive into the world of Picasso by using cardboard, paint, collage techniques, and markers to create unique, eye-catching works of art. Get ready for some funky, out-of- the-box portraits that break all the rules and capture each student's personality in a totally new way!

4) Week 4 : Spin* Splatter* Drip* Drizzle : June 16 - June 20 - Let creativity run wild! Students will let gravity, chance, and energy take the lead creating exciting, unpredictable textures, and turning the canvas into a dynamic, spontaneous performance, where each splash tells a story. These techniques push the boundaries of art, allowing artists to embrace chaos and the beauty of the unexpected.

5) Week 5 : Card Deck Design : June 23 - June 27 - This week, class will take a fun and creative spin on an everyday item – a deck of cards! Students can choose to give a traditional deck a fresh twist or design their own totally unique deck from scratch. The deck can be playing cards, affirmation card,

 inspiration cards, or a fresh take on the Tarot. We'll be using paint, collage,

and markers to bring our card creations to life.

6) Week 6 : Magic Abounds : June 30 - July 3 - Creating sculptures from

found objects is like going on a treasure hunt - you never know what amazing materials you’ll discover. Almost anything can be turned into something completely new and exciting. Our inspiration is the artist Louise Nevelson, who turned everyday objects into sculptural masterpieces - you can view one of her larger pieces downtown at the KY Performing Arts Center!

Price: $225/student/week, all supplies are included and students take home whatever art work they create
