Crude drawing of an angel, 2025, performance - textile, found object, body (altered - hair dye, testosterone), charcoal on paper, ‘Crude Drawing of an Angel’ (Caroline Polachek, 2023)
This is the second soft pink bed you encounter when you enter the convent, but this one has a mattress in it with a mirror at the centre - right under where the pelvis would lay. The performance is vulnerable, and I wanted this to be a stronghold, a safe place. The bed is shaped like a home.
Zero is dressed in matching fabrics. She awakes slowly to Caroline Polachek's Crude Drawing of an Angel, and draws the audience in with her dance that tapers off in a slow strip. She steps over the mirror and picks up charcoal and paper.
Art history is full of imagery of female bodies from an external perspective. In a traditional life drawing space, the model is not in control of their own image - it is always other people creating images of them. In drag, you get to be both the creator and the creation. Your body is an object of desire, and that object of desire is created and presented by you. In a life drawing twist, I wanted to create images of myself to give to you.
Everyone who received a drawing from this piece I hope you treasure it and please send me more pics of them hanging up in your bedrooms/fridges/offices etc 💕

It's Camp is back with all new BDE from @bigrichardenergy_drag 😍
Big Richard Energy may be a new King on the block, but don’t let that fool you; what he lacks in grace he makes up for in fabulously campy shenanigans. You may have seen him getting intimate with his beloved Big Dick Mobile on the stage at Genesis, or living out his inner theatre-kid dream of performing as Disney’s sexiest lion at the King of Drag Finale Watch Party. His energy and silliness knows no bounds and he exudes BDE. He’s definitely NOT overcompensating for anything.
When: May 9th, doors 8pm
Where: Brunswick Mechanics Institute

Do you have an act that needs to be seen, but you haven't quite found the right stage? We are looking for the weird, the wacky, and the wonderful! Pitch us your campiest concepts and wildest dreams through the EOI form on our website.
The May show is already fully cast, but spaces are available in June, August, or December.
Love from Silvio and Zero xx
We have such an exciting lineup for the next It's Camp! First up, leaping into our theatre and our hearts... It's @randyroydrag 🐸
Randy Roy is a drag king, costume designer and performance artist from Naarm, Australia. His bending of genre and gender has been featured in a number of queer events, festivals, and art galleries both locally and overseas, and he is known for approaching drag as an explorer; a dynamic, transformative adventure into the queer in all our lives.

We are so excited to bring the rising talent that is @imageofzero back to Eve this month for VOW OR NEVER!!!
Zero is one of the most dynamic, creative drag artists I’ve seen and the way their mind works is truly incredible. Zero wowed the Eve crowd at last years midsummer nights dream event and we can’t wait to see what they bring this time around
Join Zero with @florence.fable and host @bettie_rose and @rosierai.xx on Thursday April 23rd at @prideofourfootscray
We also have the honour of multiple couples GETTING MARRIED at the event. Including a couple who met at an Eve. Come celebrate love and joy with us!!!!
Tickets selling FAST
What happens in Footscray, stays in Footscray? Well we’re going to find out on April 23rd at Eve: Vow or Never. Will it be forever or will it be 5 hours? Who cares, let’s have FUN!!!
Your officiant @bettie_rose is hosting a wedding that will have you knowing it was a good time but also asking what happened last night? She’s joined by 2025’s Burlesque Rising Star, @florence.fable , @imageofzero and @rosierai.xx for her final Eve before she’s off for surgery (don’t worry she will be back asap) So it would be rude not to be there.
We are sponsored once again by @offworldaesthetic for our costume contest. Grab that wedding gown or tux in the op shop, or a dress that makes you wonder if the bride actually likes their bridesmaid. Or go the showgirl route, or even come as Elvis, the choice is up to you and your imagination.
Eve is an extra fun party with a dark room, so we take consent very seriously and anyone not practicing consent will be asked to leave the event. The dark room is fully stocked with safe sex products from Thorne Harbour.
Happy trans day of visibility, celebrate the trans artists in your life today 🧡
Here is some lovely performance documentation of bodies no bodies from Midsumma Festival 2026 by Suzanne Balding. It's so magical to have spaces for all trans casts making creative boundary defying work 🌈
