Raven Gemini creates thought-provoking burlesque pieces meant to titillate the brain just as much as the senses. She believes that entertainment should inspire the audience to aim ever higher in the pursuit of lofty goals, whether that means studying a new subject, or just understanding a really elaborate joke. Her work proves that being an intellectual doesn’t have to be stodgy and elitist, but can also be sexy, fun, and lead to a holistically richer life experience.
