It is with much heartache and sadness that I share news of the sudden passing of my close friend Rebecca Gale; aka Miss Kitka; the much loved creator, owner and producer of Miss Kitka's House of Burlesque, Kitten of the Year, The Canberra Burlesque Diary, The Burlesque Bazaar, and franchise producer of Dr Sketchy's Canberra.
Rebecca was a pioneer in the Canberra Burlesque industry who empowered, supported and changed the lives of hundreds of people and performers in her 20+ year career in both the Canberra and Sydney region. Her sudden passing leaves a gaping hole in Canberra performing arts industry and when ready, the Miss Kitka’s troupe will work with Rebecca’s family to have all of her upcoming plans finalised, commemorated and tributed.
Rebecca’s family and closest friends are utterly heartbroken and request some time to comprehend what has happened and absorb the amount of love and support they are receiving from the community at this time.
Rebecca is survived by her loving partner Michael, her children Christopher, Jayde, Thomas and her extended family.
Photos and condolences can be left on this post and I will ensure that her family receives all of them.
💔 Rusty Blaze. (Sam Ingham)
