GENDER DESIDENTIFICATION: QUEER EXPERIENCE IN DRAG QUEEN’S PERFORMATIVITY
Performance; Disidentification; Gender; Performativity; Queer.
This research aims to reflect on the gender performativity existing in my scenic practice as a drag queen performer teacher. In this sense, as a methodological strategy I report my training in creation as a queer person in my personal process of disidentification. Thus, on the one hand, I used the classroom as a place for a performance laboratory, in order to understand the corporeality present in the queen state, and, on the other, from experiences, I seek to dialogue with people marked by a narrative of resistance in queer performance. The spaces covered in this dissertation are territories of power that are reconfigured through the wanderings of a dissident body, clamoring against normativity and compulsory order. The result of this dissertation is an account, in the form of text-performance, of a body in transit migrating along wandering paths that contaminate itself across borders to reveal its performance practices and the creation of a drag laboratory.
