Dancer, performer and drag queen, Max McAuley, has spent the past 15 years finding his groove in the competitive world of live theatre, and is now kicking goals.
As a young man with Down syndrome, Max has had an even tougher journey than most performance artists.
But the new appetite for inclusion and interest in diversity means that Max is now getting the opportunities he deserves to showcase his talents. Max has been an ensemble member and principal dancer with Sprung!! Integrated Dance Theatre for over ten years, and has recently been exploring some opportunities as an independent artist.
Among other things, he has discovered a passion for drag and Bollywood, and has just returned from a headline performance at The Golden Pineapple Awards in Newcastle. And for the past ten months, Max has been working with the extraordinarily talented dancer, choreographer and producer, Che Pritchard, to create a one man show that showcases Max’s many talents – drag, hip hop, disco and contemporary dance, to name a few.
The show is now ready for the early production stage before touring at the end of this year. But in order to get the show on the road, Max is seeking financial support.
