Miss Burlesque 2012 National Final – 3 SA Finalists
The Title of Miss Burlesque Australia will be awarded to the best overall performer across a range of activities including Traditional, Neo and unique interpretation of Burlesque. We are also looking for a winner who will actively use her Title to promote a better community of Burlesque in Australia, and promote the community of Burlesque in Australia, internationally. Personality, performance, skill and presentation all form key parts of winning the competition.
Miss Burlesque Australia is the first competition in Australia to combine all feature elements of Burlesque performance and personality to compete for a major prize and international title.
A national competition that will see performers from all States compete for a prize pool worth over $20,000 AUD in money, prizes and sponsorship.
State heats were held in March 2012, with 10 State Finalists including 3 wildcards heading to Sydney for the Grand Final on 21st April 2012 at the Enmore Theatre, where the winner will be crowned Miss Burlesque Australia
In 2012, the competition was extended to include Mr Boylesque. Boylesque is a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous treatment of their subjects. The word derives from the Italian “burlesco”, which itself derives from the Italian “burla” – a joke, ridicule or mockery. A later use of the term, particularly in the United States, refers to performances in a variety show format. These were popular from the 1860s to the 1940s, often in cabarets and clubs, as well as theatres, and featured bawdy comedy and striptease. Each Boylesque Finalist will showcase a unique act & will be judged on Imagination, Creativity, Originality, Use of props or costume, Execution, Strip Tease, WOW factor – Is this person Mr. Boylesque Australia?

Continuing her dance training at Bife where she completed their Performing Arts Dance and Advanced Dance Programmes in 2011. In 2009 along with friends she co-created The LoveCats Burlesque Troupe, who in two short years became Ireland’s largest burlesque troupe.
