The beauty of the pandemic is that it’s giving many of us the opportunity, between intense bouts of despair and anxiety, the space to get some projects off the ground that have been looming for a while. That brings us to How Did I Get Here?, a podcast where I talk with people that have achieved some success in some facet of entertainment, either as a performer or someone who works behind the scenes, about their path to get to where they are today. It’s still new, but I aim to get you a new one of these every two weeks!
In our first episode, I ask burlesque dancer and mastermind behind the “Kind Of Blue Revue” about her path, taking us from her beginnings in burlesque, and through her development of the “Kind Of Blue Revue.” You can find Clara at her website, ClaraBodacious.com, and you can follow her on Instagram @clarabodacious. If you want to learn burlesque, Red Hots Burlesque’s School Of Shimmy is currently on hiatus, but keep an eye out here for classes resuming. If you want to support the venue that hosted Clara’s first time on stage, El Rio is selling t-shirts designed by local artists to help get them through the pandemic-related closure.
