biography

Hello, my name is Nancy and I am a mad tranny from the North of England. I grew ​up in an old industrial town in East Lancashire with lovely parents and a big sister. ​I spent a lot of my childhood painting, and going to Burnley Youth Theatre where I ​first enjoyed being on stage. I left home at 18 with head full of questions and a ​heart full of desire. After a year foundation in art where I got rejected from loads ​of Fine Art courses, I went to Brighton and studied Philosophy, Politics, and Art. ​The art there wasn't fine, it was actually really good. I learned a lot and expanded ​my horizons.


In 2018 I moved to Berlin because I´m a party girl and I love having fun. I was ​planning to return to academia for a masters degree in gender studies, however ​the course I desired stopped being an option when the state of Hungary made ​gender studies illegal. At the time I was giving free walking tours about Berlin´s ​tortured past, the historical resemblance was uncanny and unnerving.


I decided to sack off the academy and try to make a life as an artist, performing ​in drag, and creating queer community spaces, events and shows which bring to ​the fore voices which are not heard often enough. It takes many strings to make a ​bow fetch rent, so along with performance and production, I am also a graphic ​designer, MUA, model, and tattoo artist. My approach to performance mixes drag, ​clowning, song and dance, with makeup and costume. With my performances I ​want to experience the full scope of my being, on and off the stage, and embrace ​the entirety of my non-binary selves. The future is non-binary, after all.


Im currently writing a book to detail my theory of drag and the non binary gender ​spectrum to project a trans centred anarcha feminist revolution.
