Make-up for Fusion and Theatrical Performance
Sat, May 19, 1-3:30pm
$28
Exquisite Corpse Studio, Salem, MA (location and directions given upon registration)
On the stage, we create beautiful illusion, a luminous mystique. We create glamour. Aepril will teach you how to apply make-up for stage and for photo-shoots. Create a gorgeous, mysterious look. Or, go for something even more dramatic, like a specific character or archetype. Learn which cosmetics to use, and in what order. We will look at various examples of different “looks” to create, and then we will try them ourselves!
Some of the skills we’ll learn:
-How to apply eye make-up, working with layers of color and shading skillfully in order to create depth and intensity.
-the art of applying lipstick for luscious lips
-How to apply fake eyelashes with minimal effort
-How to go theatrical without looking “halloweeny” or “cheesy”.
-What make-up to use for photo-shoots for a dramatic look
Some looks we’ll check out:
-The Goddess
-The Warrior Queen
-The Silent Film Siren
Upon registration you will receive a list of the cosmetics we will be using in the workshop. Available at your local drugstore!
*small paypal fee included
*-10 students max, so register early! A list of Aepril’s dance workshops with brief descriptions is below the Dance Workshop Schedule. Full workshop descriptions available upon request.

The Aepril Schaile Mysterie School of Dance
The Aepril Schaile Mysterie School of Dance overcomes the millennia old split between dance, theatre, and spiritual ritual, reintegrating these traditionally separate elements into the holistic, empowering, original form of bellydance performance and instruction for which Aepril is known.
The Aepril Schaile Mysterie School Method incorporates performance art, theatre, shamanism, ritual, Gothic sensibilities and aesthetics, Archetypal psychology, meditation, and a touch of Witchcraft into Aepril’s truly original form of bellydance. The Method is based in Classical and Tribal Fusion Bellydance, with influences from ballet to break dance, from theatre to Magick, creating Aepril Schaile’s signature shamanistic, powerfully expressive, ethereal and otherworldly style of fusion dance; and a mystically themed, theatrically oriented bellydance instruction specializing in dramatic expression, spiritual and artistic authenticity, and technical precision and power.
