In here, life is beautiful! This week, Peaches and Michael are celebrating the “divine decadence darling” of 1972’s CABARET! In addition to discussing this landmark musical’s layered messaging, our hosts delve into how this celebrated classic puts the “cult” into “culturally important.” Joining the conversation is drag legend Coco Peru, who shares stories of her personal friendship with Liza Minnelli and the power of cabaret as an artform. Then, acclaimed author and drag superstar Fauxnique, aka Monique Jenkinson, stops by to chat about how her lifetime of love for this movie continues to inspire, educate, and inform her own art. From Weimar wildness to fabulous Fosse, this episode has it all! Go!

Philosopher’s dancing body and dancer’s thinking mind.

Are we understanding something different about the same thing when we investigate that thing through non-verbal movement vs. through words?

While I was doing my research for my essay, I learned the Monique "Fauxnique" Jenksinson was the only biological women to ever win the Miss Trannyshack pageant, which is incredibly interesting because it's a title given out to drag queens, and Jenkinson is a faux queen. I managed to find her winning performance online, and really, it's quite moving. You can see how beautifully she dances, and how meticulously she plans her choreography. I recommend watching the whole thing, the ending is quite something.

Changer Review explores the definition of dance, gender roles, and ecstatic trance through movement with dance, theater, drag and performance artist Monique Jenkinson. The video combines footage of Jenkinson's drag queen alter ego, Fauxnique completing seemingly mundane domestic tasks with audio cut-ups taken from Jenkinson's answers to questions presented by Changer Review. The result is a stunning study of movement through sound and vision.
