Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
Cardboard boxes, metal guitar, critical homage, attempts to describe things you can’t describe. A one-man Grand Guignol school play.

Dave will lead a session created for teenagers and designed to stimulate a supportive environment for artistic exploration through music improvisation.
