Coco Gateaux
Coco Gateaux is a newcomer based the Washington, DC Metro area. Her philosophy of, “life is too short to get to the other side wishing you ordered that slice of cake” is evident in her performances where she throws her cakes around pound by pound onstage and in the kitchen. Unconventional, captivating, and whimsical are words used to describe her performances. A recent graduate of Studio Holliday, Coco studied under the Titan of Tease, DC’s Chocolate City Tittie, and 2021 NY Burlesque Festival’s “Hottest Freshman”, Gigi Holliday. Coco’s performances range from comic, where she performed as a disgruntled recipient of socks for Christmas in the song “Socks” to the scintillating nere do well who would never leave “The House of the Rising Sun” Coco’s mission is to transform audiences and students alike from passive to active participants. She believes that burlesque is the medium to showcase one’s truth, personality, and self-love. A self professed “3D performer”, Coco encourages audiences to transform from simple voyeurs to active indulgers, who savor the moment as one would savor a rich three layer frosted cake without a worry or fear for tomorrow. Like she said, “Life’s too short not to eat cake”
