With support from the California Arts Council, OX will produce Work MORE #8, the next iteration of our semi-annual multidisciplinary drag arts project. It will be a yearlong performance laboratory in which eight drag artists collaboratively develop new ensemble works, establishing an experimental drag theater company. Phase 1 is 6 months of collaborative performance experiments performed monthly at historic gay club, The Stud. Phase 2 is a two-hour immersive theater work staged at CounterPulse.
OX’s core annual programming consists of monthly experimental and cabaret nightlife events, WorkMORE! a semi-annual commissioning platform for performing artists working within Drag’s expanded field, 2-3 performances annually in theaters, galleries, museums, storefronts or public spaces. OX also provides free performance and finance workshops for artists.
