AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Every night of the first season of 'cLUB bENT' was a spectacular performance event. Taking place at The Performance Space, Redfern, during Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (SGLMG) festival 1995, 'cLUB bENT' represented a defining moment in 1990s queer performance, exploring identity, new and old performance forms, gender diversity, abject sexuality and sex positivism. 'cLUB bENT' also became a site where performance forms and 'elements' - which I define as creative tropes, gestures and performance languages which might recur in identical yet random ways in later works - were hybridised over time and new reference points for content and form were created among a broad community of performers and activists.'
