Track
1: A confident, versatile, (and perhaps more than a bit unhinged)
dancer/mover/physical performer. Fearless in their body and not afraid
to tear sh*t up.
Track 2: A confident improviser/host,
comfortable riffing within the context of a welcome speech and/or
handling special guests. An innovator under pressure. Drag/variety
performers and hosts encouraged to submit.
Track 3: Fierce and versatile. A strong singer, to play, among other things, the HEAD MONKEY. Puppetry experience a big plus
