Diva act done with panache

Or Thailand cabaret shows, and the gay community reflects on the shows down at Connections or The Court.

“Most of the queens want to be Britney Spears or Lady Gaga, but we’re not just miming to the campest chart songs and putting on a skanky outfit – it really is a performance and art with live singing.

“I wanted to create a show that gives work to performers who want to pursue this as a career and have the ability to tour, while explaining to audiences why we do this and how we came to be here.”

Schulz assumed the persona of Panache four years ago, but his fascination with drag stems back much further.

“I was 10 when I saw the film The Birdcage with Robin Williams as a gay man married to a drag queen – I didn’t know what the word gay was let alone a drag queen,” he reflected.

“But I used to dress in my mother’s clothes and grandmother’s high heel shoes and when I saw that movie, I was blown away and loved that a guy could be up there and play out this female character.”

Driving Schulz and his fellow queens to inhabit a womanly persona is the chance to unleash their otherwise repressed feminine side.

“Drag allows me to completely hop out of my body and be this person I might never get to be when I walk into the supermarket to get my milk,” he said.

“You have hair to die for, jewels, the most glamorous dress and you become almost like royalty.”

There was a time when Schulz was so nervous buying women’s wear that he made up an excuse that he was buying for the costume department at his old school.

But now, Panache’s sparkly and sequined dressing room has become so big, it’s taken over Schulz’s parents’ suburban family home.

“My old bedroom is full of wigs, skirts, make-up and dresses, and the poor lounge room is full of props and four long clothing racks of gowns and jackets – we call it Panache’s Warehouse.”

Drag is at The Blue Room Theatre from July 5-23. - It's a New Moon in your sign, dear Cancer, so it's time to look ahead, making final decisions or plans about where to go from here, even if it involves consulting others whose advice might seem less than ideal. Advice will come from anyone who has an interest, but it's a Solar Eclipse of a sort, so everything old becomes new again.
