Cleo Rapture

Queer events, cabaret nights and fundraisers around Sydney are where Cleo Rapture works most, and headline spots come with the territory. The act covers burlesque and cabaret, podium work, pole and general dance sets, so the shape of the night decides which version you get. A freestanding pole and stage can be brought along, which needs roughly three metres of ceiling clearance and a metre and a half square of floor. There's a chair for chair dance pieces too. Public liability insurance is in place. It's big, unsubtle performance that suits a room already in the mood for it, and Cleo has spent years learning exactly when to push.
