Kruella Kraken she/her

When did you did join the cabaret community? What inspired you to become involved?
Watching the girls live inspired me to start! I joined the industry about ten hears ago.

What is your favourite act to perform?
My favorite show i have performed is my Wednesday Addams show. I cane out of a coffin and i got to utilize my pet crow for my promo video.

What trend do you want to see more of? What trend do you wish would STOP?
One trend i would like to see more is bigger and more intense costumes. One trend i don’t enjoy is dancing without shoes. Safety first!

Can you describe a moment that challenged you as a performer?
Every year we have a contest called stripperlympics. It is by far the most challanging thing i have done. The intensity is unmatched. 20 min shows, must be themed, aerials and a wet show. The hundreds of people screaming my name makes it worth it!

Have you ever dealt with burn out? How did you manage it?
Yes, i deal with it often as i do this job full time. I make sure to go home early when i need to and fuel my body properly. Food is fuel! Not energy drinks.

From where do you draw inspiration to create new art?
I draw inspiration from the girls i dance with. Everyone js so different an unique, theres always something to learn from each single girl

Did you ever consider an alternative stage name? What was it? Who would that person have been?
Yes i have considered kruella devine, she would be me, but classier

If you could learn one new performance skill what would it be?
I would love to re-learn juggling! It looks so fun! And a great opertunity to catch my breath

What is your DREAM SHOW? Money is no object. Who is your DREAM CAST? (dead or alive)
My dream show would be a dark western theme with a complete skeletal horse that spins, and has fire come from its nose. My dream cast member would be dock holiday

Do you have a mantra or philosophy that defines this moment of your performance career? Has this changed over time?
My only mantra is “ITS SHOWTIME BABY”. My philosophy towards dancing is always changing but as a child i wanted to be a tattoo model and a circus performer. With this job i get both, and get paid!

Would you share your goals for yourself, or any advice for others in the community?
Goals for myself this year are to travel more as a performing artist. My advice for all in the community is to never be scared of rejection. Rejection is simply a building block to getting where you want to go!
