Join us once again in t’ARTopia for a night of art, words, drag, cabaret and music from some of our most delicious t’ARTopia.
We have invited some of the wonderful contributors to t’ART Magazine plus some of our favourite performers to entertain you all, at a night that will be nothing short of t’ARTopian.
As always we will be raising money for gender affirming surgery funds with a raffle, so come with a couple of quid, win art and raise money for good causes!
Performers:
TWATU - Drag Duo
We’re the ex-boyfriends of your dreams and we’re always right — Wikipedia bros with toxic oat latte energy and the softest mullets. We sing to Fleetwood Mac and never call you back. We want to be with you everywhere, and we mean EVERYWHERE. We’re the TWATU you’ll never regret.
Lu Greco - Dancer
Lu Greco is a gender non conforming latinx performance artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina based in London. They are a professional dancer who use movement as a means to question normativity in society. This piece, ABRE (Opens) is not a choreography, everytime it is performed the audience will essentially see the same story being told, but everytime it will be different, as the movement is 100% improvised. The creation of their next piece is currently in progress and it focuses specifically around trans existence.
Iona Champain - Drag Artist
Iona Champain is an Actor, Drag Artist and Poet from Suffolk. Currently living in London, her performances aim to address contradictions of masculinity with humour and absurdity, as well as tackling themes of who takes up space and how. Having recently completed SOHO Theatre’s Drag & Cabaret Lab, Iona is now devising some new drag pieces alongside performing in several independent films.
