For the second podcast for Queering the Archive,\u00a0Elliot\u00a0sat down with Dorian T. Fisk to discuss representation\u00a0in the drag scene and elsewhere.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dorian is just one of many of Scotland\u2019s Drag Kings and performers. Dorian represented Scotland in EuroStars Drag Contest, drag\u2019s answer to EuroVision, in which Dorian placed in the Top 5. <\/span>Dorian also runs the collective Shut Up And King, a Glasgow-based platform for Scottish Drag Kings everywhere.<\/p>\n Dorian first got their start in Shanghai, beginning with stage management for shows for Pride and Qi Pow! Burlesque & Cabaret and was inspired by the King Ennis FW, which began the experience and the creation of Dorian T. Fisk. Dorian started as a \u2018roadie\u2019 and events manager, and is drawn from \u201cexperiences of being a teen in the 80s loving rock music and that sort of glam rock type vibe, and this guy Dorian T Fisk was a bit of a smush of some lead singers from bands I grew up liking long haired dudes and a bit of Johnny Depp thrown in there\u201d. After growing as a performer in Shanghai and representing Shanghai Drag Kings, Dorian came to be in Scotland around 2018 and is now based in Glasgow and has performed across Scotland.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dorian has recently performed in London as part of \u2018All The King\u2019s Men\u2019, an all Drag King ensemble for Tuck Shop West End at the Garrick Theatre, which also included performers Len Blanco, Tito Bone, Chiyo, Romeo De La Cruz, Louis Cyfer, Richard Energy, Manly Mannington, Sigi Moonlight, Oedipussi Rex, Max Ryder, and Rex Uranus.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dorian can also be seen performing in an upcoming gig with Drag Race star\u00a0Gottmik\u00a0at AXM Glasgow on the\u00a010<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0September.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In this podcast we discuss the drag scene in Edinburgh and Glasgow\u00a0and wider\u00a0Scotland, as well as\u00a0Dorian\u2019s time uplifting kings in the collective and workshops for Shut Up and King.
