Taking to the stage in a pink leotard, white PVC body harness, a tousled mess of pink hair and sparkly platform boots, Georgia. Tasda makes quite the impression. Then she opens her mouth to reveal blackened teeth and a broad Northern accent and it’s clear this is not just another run-of-the-mill RuPaul girl. In her […]
Loverboy first saw Georgia Tasda at the sublime Camposphere giving birth to pingpong ball eyes. That should give you some idea of her drag stylings. Fallon Gold spoke to Georgia about winning Not Another Drag Competition, performance art drag and her new show that premieres at Edinburgh Fringe, Afternoon T With Georgia Tasda. So, let’s […]
2016 has been a lot of things – we all know it’s been ‘eventful’, to say the least. Amongst all the sadness, shock and tumultuous change, 2016 has also been a rather stellar year for amazing queer performance. Loverboy’s Fallon Gold has had the privilege of witnessing some of the greatest stuff and here gives […]
Queer theatre is having something of a magnificent renaissance in London at the moment with works by Nando Messias, Dickie Beau, Scottee, and Le John Joseph, (amongst many others) doing the rounds and leaving audiences moved, in awe, and talking about our queer lives. So, Loverboy’s art critic Fallon Gold was super excited to hear […]
Review by Fallon Gold Some experiences of art are so profound that even this wordy writer finds it very difficult to choose the right words (any words) to describe what they have witnessed. When art is so visceral and so much in the particular moment that it occurs, it may seem pointless to try and […]
Helen Noir returns to The Glory this month and next with a quartet of deliciously camp and cult films, providing us with original live scores. Helen’s legendary soundtracks have changed people’s lives – honestly, literally – when she’s performed them in the past and we are in for quite a giddy treat. Loverboy’s Fallon Gold […]
La JohnJoseph is one of those queer performance creatures who defies definition and elusively shapeshifts between artistic mediums and personae entrancing all in their wake. Autobiographic theatre, an award winning novel, opera, electropop: everything that they do reeks of queer art genius and subversive beauty. With a new show, ‘GEIST’, at the Arcola next month, Loverboy’s Fallon Gold […]
Fancy Chance is a superstar of the cabaret scene. Whether it’s bringing her uber-hilarious imitations of Prince or Lieutenant Uhura to a burlesque stage or showing her circus chops by doing stuff whilst suspended by her hair, it really doesn’t get better than Fancy. She’s one of Loverboy’s favourite performers and Fallon Gold caught up […]
June sees the live art festival Beyond Bloodlines at The Cockpit in London, showcasing performances dealing with the theme of family, both traditional and otherwise. Loverboy’s Fallon Gold talked with Rosana Cade about her piece My Big Sister Taught Me This Lapdance. This is quite an extraordinary performance piece. Can you tell me why you […]
