„Performing with Gaga - the highest point of my career” - Angie Pontani for Yahoo

[Ophelia 3,895]

Angie Pontani and Brian Newman talk about their work and life for Yahoo In the Know.

Angie name drops Gaga:

„(…) I think right now, the highest point in my career was performing with Lady Gaga at the Dolby Theater in Las Vegas. To be able to represent this art form that I care very deeply about on that stage surrounded by such amazing musicians with the most epic production, that was-- and we did "Mambo Italiano." So, it was like, brain explosion. It was really amazing.”

I adore them so much, they seem so down to earth. And as a baby burlesque performer I am jealous of every single person that witnessed Gaga x Angie in person

Fellow burlesque performer here  Have you listened to Angie's podcast? She's not doing it anymore, but I highly recommend listening back all the episodes.

That's so exciting you are working on your first act. Hope to see some pictures someday.

My first ever act was partially to Fashion by Gaga, but I only performed it once. That was years and years ago. I have performed quite a few cool gigs over the years, but I only perform a few times a year. My mental health and body image tends to get in the way lately 

I picked it up again last month with a performance of one of my fav acts and I feel I have the energy again to work on new stuff, polish up the old acts and become a semi-pro performer.

It's so much fun developing an act and creating a costume. The dancing is not my strong point, but as a Neo burlesque artist, I can get a away with that.

What drew you to burlesque?
