Welcome to Ardent Artiste Productions!!
Perth’s most daringly inclusive burlesque academy..
Here, artistry isn’t just taught - it’s a fierce act of belonging.
Under the visionary guidance of Mellogamy Muse and a dynamic creative team, we cultivate performances where body positivity, neurodiversity, and diverse identities aren’t just welcomed—they’re centre stage.
Whether it's Neurodiversity Unmasked - a mesmerising, personal journey through the eyes of neurodivergent artists - or the dazzling Cabaret De La Crooked, bursting with drag, comedy, and bold expression, every offering is a celebration and challenge of norms.
From six‑week experiential courses to sunset showcases, Next Level Burlesque, and Burlesque Without Borders Festival, we nurture community, creativity, and self‑belief for performers of all backgrounds.
Step into a space where the art of tease meets radical acceptance.
Ardent Artiste Productions
The stage, the movement,
the family where your truth shines unabashedly.

Every revolution begins with a single spark.
In burlesque, that spark ignites when one performer is bullied, excluded, or told they do not belong.
We refuse to let that flame be smothered.
When one of us is silenced, all of us feel the wound.
When one of us is diminished, the whole community is weakened.
We rise together.
We declare that harmful behaviour is not acceptable in our spaces.
We declare that every body, every story, every voice has the right to shine under the spotlight.
Burlesque is resistance.
Burlesque is joy. Burlesque is for all of us.
