The Popular Performance Working Group invites applications to attend our Interim Event at The Victoria and Albert Museum, London on Friday 3rd May, 4pm – 9pm. The event offers an introductory provocation to our 2019 conference themes of Mask, Disguise and Persona by exploring how the values of display and design contribute to the performance of both drag and camp. The assertion of the event is that debates surrounding these two aesthetics is a key conduit into the issues that emerge from many other instances of mask and persona, particular in relation to the performance of gender and sexuality.
The event involves a provocation by guest presenters, followed by a table discussion of two papers discussing drag and camp from a feminist perspective. This is followed by the opportunity to attend two performances, the first a practice-as-research piece exploring camp by Simon Dodi, Just Williams, the second a drag cabaret. The whole event takes place in the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, London.
The event is open only to current TAPRA members, to whom it is FREE to attend. Places are limited and awarded on a first come, first served basis. To apply for a place, please email [log in to unmask] by 26 April 2019. Postgraduate students can also apply for support with travel costs – please include estimated costs in your email. The criteria for funding will be lack of institutional support, alignment of research interest to the event, cost of travel.
All participants must be TaPRA members. If you are not currently a member, you will be asked to join the organization at the interim rate of £15 before the date of the event.
