Australian breakdancer Rachael Gunn has defended her decision to shutdown a Raygun-inspired musical in Sydney last week.
"We were totally blindsighted by this and unfortunately the blowback was quick," she said in a video posted to social media.Raygun claimed her team was not aware of the musical until the day before the performance day.
Gunn said she strived to support creativity and has loved the way her performance at the Olympics sparked "so many different artistic interpretations" "This has also never been about the money, I have been contacted to go on just about every reality TV show out there and I've declined big money because I'm not about that."During the video, Gunn confirmed she has trademarked her name and "my now-famous kangaroo silhouette pose".
"The reason we did that was because we were notified that there were applications from other parties trying to trademark my name and image for commercial purposes.""In terms of the kangaroo dance, I did not trademark it or claim any trademark ownership of the kangaroo dance and it in no way mimics Aboriginal dance," Gunn said.
