Projects

“What A Drag!” is a comedy/cabaret/drag show in which friends, Madiha (a Pakistani Muslim mother of 2) & Jessica (a working class white American), together build their first ever drag characters based on conversations and explorations of their respective and often depressing cultural, religious, professional, social, emotional, national experiences of being female. Composed of vignettes with pop culture references, childhood role models, music & dance routines, makeup tutorials, and history lessons, “What A Drag” finds out where their worlds meet.

 

What A Drag” has received the Live Bradford commission; the first 20 minutes is currently under development in association with Barrel Organ.
