Taxi Rank

Performance

DRAG

Taxi Rank blends classical and contemporary music with drag, fashion and performance art. Their practice involves postmodernist, minimalist composition, amalgamating live instruments and vocals with lip-sync, samples, music production and choreography.

Taxi received Developing Your Creative Practice (DYCP) funding from Arts Council England, Apr 2023-Feb 2024. Taxi worked with mentors Stephanie Schober, Becky Stockley and Oren Lazovski during a period of professional development to refine their choreomusical practice, while incorporating queer theory and drag elements. Workshops on this queer “dancer-musician” creative practice were delivered in Berlin, Jul 2023, and in London, Feb 2024.

Taxi made their drag debut winning the Finalmente drag competition in Lisbon, Dec 2016. London venues since then include Her Upstairs/Them Downstairs, Cybil’s House, The White Swan, The ShayShay Show, SET Dalston, The Glory, Bar Wotever, Royal Vauxhall Tavern (RVT), charity events plus social media and video production.
