Clipper-cuts AHOY! It’s on, we are holding a social change hairdressing event titled Sir Madam Salon at the first Broken Heel Festival in Broken Hill in September 2015.
Sir Madam Salon is a pop-up hair salon interactive performance. For three days we invite people to come along to enjoy styling each other’s hair and be part of the salon chatter about fashion, art, culture, gender and remote Australia. The artists/hairdressers are Mel Balkan, Kate Fielding and myself.
The Broken Heel Festival celebrates the 21st birthday of the classic Australian film Priscilla Queen of the Desert. It promises that it is “programmed to give Priscilla the Birthday Bash every 21 year old deserves (including the awkward family photos & speeches). Over 3 days you can expect a handbag stuffed full of stunning Drag Queens & Drag Kings from around the nation delivering their finest performances as they pay homage to a movie that changed their lives.”
Sir Madam Salon is presented in partnership with Maari Ma Aboriginal Health with support from the WA Department of Culture and the Arts.
