Boost Your Burlesque

CREATE A BURLESQUE & CABARET CAREER YOU CAN BE PROUD OF!

Have you ever dreamed of taking your career up a notch? 

Wouldn't it be amazing to know that thousands of people are reading your story, inspired by your photos and want to write about your show, festival or to book your act?

This is a call to artists, show producers, teachers and festival directors in the field of cabaret, boylesque and burlesque.

Communicating your vision with  impact is possible and I can show you how!

BECAUSE EVERY BURLESQUE ARTIST & EVENT DESERVES TO BE MORE VISIBLE.

SEEN AT

Hi, I’m Sapphira, the creator of World Burlesque Day and Ibiza Burlesque Festival. For years I struggled to get out there in the cabaret world.  My applications were often refused by shows and festivals I applied to… or worse… my emails got no reply at all. When out of frustration I started producing my own shows the nightmare continued and tickets would not sell.  Then I changed a few things I was doing and it all changed for me! 

I've made the mistakes so you don't have to.

Since many shows have transitioned online the cabaret world now presents a global stage like never before. For over a year since the pandemic I have been teaching burlesque newcomers and professionals online and the Boost Your Burlesque Strategy courses have had 30 graduates from 11 countries.

Imagine having an international tribe of burlesque family to brainstorm ideas with!

Imagine networking with producers & performers on the same mentor course for future career growth!

You can.

It's been amazing creating this community and I had been working with Universities in my previous role so I adapted many methods of international distancing learning and I've loved every second of mentoring the groups. 2022 is going to be bigger than ever!

To Boost Your Burlesque Strategy, you need to know some basic tools

  • How to research & approach the burlesque industry
  • How to write consciously in a compelling and relevant way with impact
  • How to perform and present yourself online
  • How to network linking with sponsors  and other brands
  • How to leverage the press

(believe me, they want to write about you and it helps your profile immeasurably which effects bookings, income and impact)

Now, with major press features and brand partnerships in 4 countries, having connected with the biggest names in business including Sir Richard Branson & Dita Von Teese, I’m committed to helping burlesque artists like you reach their goal of getting more from their burlesque and cabaret careers. I even attracted an invitation to publish my memoir from a global publishing house. Even if you only have a few acts in your repertoire and you’re just starting out, you will benefit from this course.

About Your Teacher

Hi. I am Sapphira. A heart-centered burlesque entrepreneur, author, mindfulness & business coach who believes in positive thinking. Founder and creative director of Sapphira’s Showtime, World Burlesque Day and the Ibiza Burlesque Festival, I have a global perspective of the opportunities for burlesque and cabaret. I am an award-winning singer/songwriterand performer, World Record holder and my company fundraises for several charities. The butterfly is my emblem of transformation and recovery. I would love to help you transform any aspect of your life and career.

Known in the corporate world under my legal name, Priscilla Silcock, I have held two careers, one in burlesque working my way up as a performer to festival director and the other in the international business world working at the biggest  global companies in advertising, publishing, sales and international Higher Education. In this duel existence for over 20 years I have commanded respect as international business woman known for an impactful presence and strategic business acumen. A digital native, I have sold website solutions since their inception and have travelled the world advising and training top thought leaders on digital education and advertising strategies.

This has given me invaluable insight into marketing strategy, cultural trends and organisational structure which have helped me gain support for burlesque projects from leading corporations including Benefit Cosmetics, Illamasqua, Macmillan Publishers, Virgin Atlantic & Virgin Active.

I have used my knowledge of international business to expand my burlesque school, online courses and event production company ‘Sapphira’s Showtime’ to Australia from London and then to the Spanish island of Ibiza.

Both performing and working globally I have learnt the process of constructing complex multi-year deals and have an intricate understanding of the media, marketing and copyright.

In all aspects of my life I have glowing references and I hope once you work with me, you will be writing one, too.

My Vision

It is my mission to hold the space for the growth and expansion of burlesque and cabaret and to use my knowledge of brand building to redefine the perception of these artforms.
The world needs to read our stories, not just mine.
The louder that voice is and the clearer that voice is defined the stronger our platform will grow. The more our artform will be understood, requested and respected.

I commit to championing burlesque and cabaret artists in best practice to share this healing dance with the world.

What others say

Bunny D'Vine - Switzerland - Burlesque Performer & Teacher

The content and examples provided to us are of the highest quality. Not only did I learn skills that will make a difference in my burlesque career, I have also gained the confidence to get out there because I now know how to present my values, my USP, myself and my brand in a consistent and professional manner. What I have learned are not static skills and tools either, I can keep using them and recycling them to other areas of my life, business and career, which makes the content even more invaluable.
