Fred Astaire's Dancing Lessons

What does it mean to be "part" of the queer community in 2019? Who tells your story? Your history? Your future? The performance is a 70-minute one person multimedia, performative examination of shifting perceptions of queer male mentorship, LGBT aging anxieties, and the lingering cultural threat assigned to queer sexuality.

The piece is an avalanche of pop culture, flamboyance, and monstrosity, an intertextual interrogation of queer generational tensions, reclaiming a story of the monsters who refuse to die (for long), refuse to hide the histories their bodies carry, and who keep surviving through wit, camp, irreverence, and an ongoing commitment to the queer community.

A post-performance discussion will be led by Daniel Brouwer, PhD
