I am going to the Alternative Miss Ireland competition on Sunday and I am thrilled. Oh yes. It will be amazing. The reigning AMI is Funtime Gustavo, member of DoppleGäng, the troupe that did the Wizard of Oz production at the Dublin Fringe Festival (see my blog entry on that) which means the troupe will perform at the show before passing the crown to the new AMI winner.
What makes it even more exciting is that I am writing a paper for one of my courses on DoppleGäng's Oz show. And I submitted a proposal to present the paper at a conference in Belfast in April. I have a feeling that there is more than one presentation's worth of material here because the troupe is ambitious, talented, and diverse. It's really exciting to find this group who pushes all sorts of boundaries of performance, style, and gender.
I'll keep you posted on the paper and conference. Literally.
