Description

INTRODUCING THE PROJECT It was these sentences which captured me, and got me started on the train of thought that has now evolved into the writing before you. I was transfixed, mesmerised by the possibilities and theoretical turns in front of me, triggered by these few words. In the writing of her piece 'Grease cowboy fever: Or, the making of Johnny T', K Bradford engaged with her work as a Drag King through both her daily persona, with almost schizophrenic interjections from her Drag King persona, Johnny T. (2) At that point, I saw a humour I recognised--one similar to my own, and one I came to realise lay in Camp. But beyond that, I saw evidence of my experiences of Drag Kinging--from the audience--and I wanted to know more, I wanted to find my experiences and desires reflected in this kind of work. I searched. I found nothing that did it justice, that said the things I felt when I, as audience, participated in a Drag King performance. And so I decided to find it myself. This piece is an attempt to create a coherent reaching out towards the Drag King performer and his performances, to value his work, and to show how and why we desire him. I want to meet the Drag King, arms open--and maybe even get to take him home with me.
