Dickie Beau

Drag fabulist Dickie Beau embodies counter- cultural figures and movie stars alike. Miming to spoken word, Beau has revitalized the tradition of lip synching with the showmanship of a drag artist and the melancholy of a clown. At home in clubs, theaters, and cabarets alike, he received the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award in 2014.

“This is lip-syncing to spoken word. It’s about channeling voices, imagining them going through my body, which becomes a conduit for other things, like glitches in machines.”
