Sticky Season - Seasons come and seasons go, political tensions rise and fall, heat intensifies and dissipates and pressure mounts and mounts until it finally finds release. Inspired by the lives of Joe Orton, a British Playwright living at the heart 60's Britain, changing its attitudes towards homosexuality and minor d Dugas a Canadian flight attendant scapegoated for spreading AIDS within the vibrant party scene sprawling across America in the 70's. Through a queer language of live Jazz music and poetry influenced by ?The Beat Generation', this performance consumes and digests the stickiness of these histories from a contemporary queer perspective. Minor Disruptions - A child's head revisited - why does everyone keep saying that childhood was a simpler time, full of innocence and happiness? Wasn't it just an endless well of chaos, boredom, frustration and impossible rules that nobody explained(shh). This solo endurance test piles comedy and autobiography awkwardly on top of each other to excavate the queerness of a 'normal' childhood. Every show is a completely different experience, with a party atmosphere of riotous silliness and some very good natured audience participation - the only person at risk of humiliation is Katie, we promise! Crystal Bollix presents: The Bitch Ball - Ever been called a bitch? Want to escape reality? Or simply want to have a muthaf***ing good time? Welcome to the Bitch Ball. Join drag artist Crystal Bollix as they try to discover their ?Bitch Realness' in a wildly entertaining fusion of lip-sync, dance, and a LOT of audience interaction.
