Alt B-YC: Paper Privilege

Produced by Bard The Beholder

Paper Privilege (live) follows the launch of Bard The Beholder’s new podcast of the same name, but transforms the stage into a shared space for performer and audience members.

This is a live show/workshop which explores what it means to have intersections of identity. By featuring global majority performers and inviting audiences to respond to the art live via guided prompts led by drag artist Bard The Beholder, the night becomes a blend of scratch performance and live drawing.


This event is presented as part of the Bush Theatre’s ALT B programme – providing artists with a creative space to perform their work and take the first steps in developing their writing.
