15 minute solo performance, seen in the context of cabaret. A tongue-in-cheek exploration of the Drag King phenomena through dance-based performance. "The way she deals with gender ambiguity, or the fact that she is doing so in such a consistent and carefully thought-through way is also in itself exciting. She did two numbers to Tom Jones singles, What's new pussycat and I'm not responsible. In the first, her dancing has a lot of references to fencing and ballet (which are related anyway), and in the second she mimed the words (like a drag king act) while dancing in a very sexy way, really moving her/his ass and making lots of eye contact with the audience".
