I conceived, designed, and performed this number as part of a Drag King night at The Museum of Comedy in association with Above Your Nerve Theatre Company. This piece was entirely live using only voice over, tap dance and a metronome to playfully explore themes of gender and sexuality. The conceptual goal of the piece was to develop dramatic tension using only the increasing speeds of a live metronome.
My drag practice is invested in exploring intimacy between performer and audience through acoustic tap and silence while modeling positive expressions of masculinity.
