Sue Pertrouper interviewed Alice and Fox about the ramifications of the UKSC judgment, and the EHRC's proposed guidance.

We are here to educate, inform, and build capacity for the community - as well as entertain!

We were most blessed to have Sue Pertrouper host, with guest acts from Hot Pot, Packin Heat (Tommy Gun and AJ 47), TRASH!, and Liv Vicariously. All members of the LAD network! Oh, and Alice Aforethought and Fox Populi!

The audience laughed, cheered, gasped, and basically had a camp old time of it
Alice and Fox performing a lip sync mashup on stage, with Fox crawling and kneeling between Alice's tights AJ 47 of Packin Heat walks through the audience, dressed as a sort of pig priest, with a pink cowl, an enormous pig toy christ child, and an ominous glowing pink pig lamp The packed audience looks to the stage, where TRASH! lip syncs to Death Becomes Her The Musical songs, in a blonde bouffant wig, glasses, moustache, and a tight black cocktail dress The teeming audience watches agog as Hot Pot takes to the stage, in a giant egg costume, face painted yellow with a dark handlebar moustache

Drag Artists! "Law's a Drag" needs YOU!

Law's a Drag is a network of drag artists, lawyers, and academics working to find out more about how drag artists experience law and injustice: including contract or employment disputes, copyright confusion, discrimination, and more besides!
Pink and purple poster, with tapes of text overlapping an image of some young queer people posing in make up and drag. The text reads: Law's a Drag are recruiting! We pay Drag artists to tell us about how they experience law and injustice: artists, we need you! Join us: lawsadrag.org.uk

We're extending the deadline to 6th February! We're looking for drag artists to answer this short, anonymous survey. Please like, share, and spread the word!
Law’s a Drag Forum Theatre workshop: call for participants for a short questionnaire School of Law, University of Leeds The questionnaire closes 6th February We’re asking drag artists to share their experiences and concerns about being involved with academic research. Artists’ responses to this survey will help us to draft a script for a “forum theatre” performance, where social issues are explored on stage during an initial performance, before members of the audience are invited to join during repeated performances to show how they would resolve conflicts and respond to injustices. We are asking these questions so that we can a) explore forum theatre as a research method, and b) explore the sorts of ethical and practical issues artists may be worried about when working with academics. It’s a short online survey, that drag artists can complete any time before the CLOSING DATE ON 6th FEBRUARY 2025. We’re asking for UK drag artists with any experience of, or any interest in, participating in academic research. You can get involved one of three ways: Scan the QR Code Visit lawsadrag.org.uk and use the contact form Email J.R.H.Greenwood-Reeves@leeds.ac.uk

✨️Call for participants!✨️

We're running a survey to ask drag artists about their experiences and thoughts of working with academics.

Responses will be anonymous and will help us put together a forum theatre piece on drag and legal research for an event we're holding in April!

Law’s A Drag is incredibly sad to hear of the passing of James Lee Williams, known as The Vivienne. Our thoughts are with their family and friends at this difficult time.

Rest in peace, pride, and power, The Vivienne

At the end of each week, I write down nice things that have happened on a post-it note. Everything from silly things friends have said that made me laugh, through to parties, promotions, or big life events. At the end of the year, I have 52 reminders of reasons to be cheerful. All the best for 2024!
