✨ Ever wish you could workshop an act with thoughtful feedback from people who get it?
Peer Review is one of BurlyCon’s most valuable growth opportunities!

Whether you’re refining a nearly-finished act or working through a concept that needs fresh eyes, Peer Review gives you the chance to receive supportive, constructive feedback from fellow artists invested in your success.

As The English Muffin shared after their experience:

"I came away with actionable ideas, a renewed sense of excitement, and a deeper appreciation for collaborative creative process." (adapt if pulling exact quote)

Want to hear firsthand what the experience is like? Read their story: 🔗 https://burlycon.org/peer-review-with-the-english-muffin/

🎭 Applications for Peer Review are opening soon!

I’m The English Muffin, and I’m the co-founder of Frostease Burlesque in Anchorage, Alaska. Last year at Burlycon, I presented my “Eat It” act for Peer Review. What was originally concepted as a throwaway act for a seven deadly sins show had grown, in my head, to a signature piece of comment...

Every artist has a moment that changed the way they saw themselves. For many of us, BurlyCon has been part of that story.

It’s the stories we tell, the choices we make, and the ways we show up for each other that build community. And it extends beyond a single weekend.

We’re gathering community reflections for our “What BurlyCon Means to Me.” blog series. If you’d like to share a moment, a connection, or a shift in your artistry that happened at BurlyCon, we would love to hear and share it!
