MANIFEST: A participatory drag king flash mob
In 2019 Produced Moon were supported by Arts Council England and the Westway Trust to R&D a new participatory project exploring the politics of gender in public space.
​
We worked with drag king Thrustin Lumbersnake and choreographer Elsabet Yonas to develop a scratch performance for a participatory drag king flash mob co-created by young women and non-binary people who identified as queer or an ally in West London. We had an amazing process and whilst the lockdown of March 2020 meant we weren't able to do the public sharing we wanted we have created some resources to share some of the exercises and ideas we explored. So if you, your school or group want to take part then check them out below.
These resources are aimed at teenagers and are free for anyone to use and share.
