Dragging Our Art, Crafting Our Drag: The Politics of Drag Performance and Acting

HowlRound: Hello, theatre enthusiasts! Since this is my first blog post in this publication, I thought I would take up a little bit of space and precious word count to introduce myself. I am a dedicated drag performer, amateur actor, and writer. I live my craft (drag) every day, since I am genderqueer and operate in a number of public roles in my day job and various communities. In the past few years, I have pitched drag workshops to various university theatre departments, as well as been increasingly sought out by them to coach their actors in convincingly inhabiting cross-gender (often called) roles.
