    Default Getting bookings stolen by another RANT!!!!! (feature problems : )

    So, I have been preforming mulitple routines which mix Aerials (lyra and silks) with burlesque. I have also been "playing" with Fire!!!

    I train at a studio with a few other women, but only one of them is also preforming to the public. I met her at the club where I strip at and we do compete against each other occasionally at competitions. Now she uses her aerials to display her work at raves and dubstep shows. Where i have gone the traditional theatre and burlesque route. Now suddently she feels the need to try to take gigs in my sector. The worst part about this is she is friends with our instructor outside of classses (something that I feel uncomfortable doing. I am nice but i don't want to go to the bar and stuff with) So now my instructer is throwing HER burlesque show gigs, when she doesnt even do burlesque she just does her tyical black light, body paint, rave like show. She is getting to network with people in this area I could work with and i'm getting glossed over. This summer I have 2-3 gigs in my area and nearly a dozen more out of state. Which i'm happy for, but i'm not making much income off of out of state gigs as my name isn't big enough to demand a high sum of money yet. Needed to vent, I'm about to cry out of frustration.

    Sounds like it might be a good idea for you to start networking with your instructor and other people in your area like this other feature is doing. Networking doesn't mean going to the bar and getting drunk with them though -- hang out for a bit before/after class, maybe grab some coffee together and ask to pick your instructor's brain over a show idea or whatever else their expertise best lends them to. Basically, just stay on their radar outside of class so they remember you when bookings come up.
