Drag Lecture

Director
Lecture theatre

Drag Lecture was staged in a lecture theatre, with the audience at the desks, a projection screen behind the performers and a host in drag. Handwritten words on the wall and pink projection artwork do much of the visual work, and the room is washed in violet. Directing here meant holding a performance inside a room built for teaching, and using the room's own furniture and screens as the set.
