The Business of Show Business: The Care and Keeping of You

A backstage survival guide for performers.

This class is all about the unsung essentials of performing in shared spaces—where the glitter is plentiful but the room is tight. “The Care and Keeping of You” centers self-awareness, hygiene, and community care in a non-judgmental, practical way. We’ll talk about how to manage our bodies, boundaries, and belongings in green rooms, dive into respectful communication, and share tools for maintaining personal care when resources are limited.

You’ll learn:

Green room hygiene & scent sensitivity

What to pack in your gig bag (and what not to)

Scented product etiquette & alternatives

Sharing makeup safely

Costume care & mess management

How to talk about tough stuff kindly

Resources for low-cost care solutions

From scent sensitivity to costume cleanup, menstruation prep to glitter etiquette—this session is full of real talk, shared wisdom, and small hacks that make a big difference. Whether you're a seasoned pro or fresh to the scene, this is a must-have toolkit for navigating the realities of performance life with care, compassion, and confidence.

Taught with love and lived experience by Pearl Buttons and Belle Gunz.
