Four departments co-sponsor a live drag performance for NovemberThe Film, Television, and Theatre Department (FTT) intends to bring a drag performance to Notre Dame’s campus on Friday, November 3, the Rover learned in an interview with FTT professor Pam Wojcik.
This semester, Prof. Wojcik is teaching a class titled, “What a Drag: Drag on Screen—Variations and Meanings.” According to Wojcik, “Drag has traditionally been understood as someone who identifies as one sex dressed in the clothing of the other sex.” Drag has been a “major thread throughout the history of entertainment,” she told the Rover.
The description on Notre Dame’s online student “Class Search” platform states that the course “provides an overview of the history of drag performance on screen.” It continues, “We will consider televisual drag, comedic and dramatic fiction films, docuмentaries, and silent films.”
“Students will be asked to read essays on drag, write weekly reflections, attend class discussions, and attend weekly screenings, as well as a symposium on drag and performance on Friday, November 3, 2023,” it concludes.
