About this experience
POME is excited to launch The Museum of Living Art! The night aims to showcase multiple performance art disciplines with a focus on sensual and erotic art delivered through burlesque, dance and cultural art forms, photography and multimedia, by artists of all genders and identifications.
The performers:
Gina Stirling: putting the 'G' in 'G Spot' and revealing herself as a political, radical, queer, self-loving act. Gina explores classic, neo and cabaret styles, infusing them into a sensual, lusty cocktail.
Gina has been performing internationally in Burlesque, cabaret and musical theatre for over a decade. Under her previous alter ego, Mimi, she achieved one of the highlights of her career by placing first in her category at The World Burlesque Games 2014 in London. In 2015 she decided to take a break to travel the world and find a place she could call home. This ended up being in Melbourne, Australia.
As well as being a performer, Gina is a freelance life model and a dance instructor at Bottoms Up! Burlesque and Pole, Brunswick. She is extremely passionate about body confidence, sexual empowerment and seeing her students flourish through dance. Feast your eyes on this femme fatale as she allures her audiences from far and wide.
