# Freaky Stage Performers Syban V Has Strangely Entertaining Burlesque Acts By Shelby Lee Walsh | Published 2009-07-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/syban-v-burlesque-acts References: [bizarremag](http://www.bizarremag.com/weird-news/bizarre-life/7918/syban_v.html) Most people can’t say (or want to say) that they have traveled the world working in fetish clubs as an underaged teen, performed a blood-filled version of 'Swan Lake' and done some crazy [onstage pain-inducing needle piercing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/out-of-orifice). Syban V can say that she has done all or these things (and more). Syban V's career can’t be neatly wrapped up in one phrase, as she is both a [fetish performer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/syrn) as well as a [burlesque artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pole-fitness1). Syban V states that her job is "... never work. I don’t have a website and I don’t have a business card. It's strange--people and opportunities just always seem to have presented themselves to me. I think perhaps it's because I’m the same person offstage as I am on it, so what you see is what you get. I suppose you could say I was a born performer." Check out some of her freaky photos above! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Alternative Performance Art:** Artists are exploring new ways to showcase their talents through alternative performance art like fetish and burlesque which offers a unique form of entertainment for audiences. - **Authenticity as a Branding Strategy:** Performers like Syban V who are true to themselves in both their private and professional lives are becoming more popular as audiences seek out genuine experiences. - **Mixed Reality Performances:** Incorporating technology into live performances has become more popular, offering new opportunities for performers to create interactive and immersive shows for audiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry has an opportunity to showcase alternative forms of performance art like fetish and burlesque for audiences who are seeking new and unique entertainment experiences. - **Branding:** Brands can leverage performers like Syban V to build an authentic brand image and connect with audiences who value genuine experiences and authenticity in their relationships with businesses. - **Augmented Reality:** Augmented reality technology can be integrated into live performances to create interactive and immersive experiences for audiences, providing new opportunities for performers to innovate in the entertainment industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Boundary-Pushing Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briony-douglas-1.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Mesmerizing Sculpture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mesmerizing-sculpture.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md)
