Episode description

In celebration of Pride Month, today we have the pleasure of speaking directly to Daniel Vais, Founder and Creative Director of Culture Device, Drag Syndrome, the first drag collective made up exclusively of people with Downs Syndrome, and the Radical Beauty Project, an avant-garde art and high fashion project bringing globally renowned photographers together with models with Down’s Syndrome. In 2019, Daniel Directed a powerful reinterpretation of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring with a group of dancers with Down’s Syndrome at the Royal Opera House. He has Directed and Choreographed Drag Syndrome shows all over the world, including RuPaul DragCon, and the Tate Modern. With a smile and quite a bit of charming sass, has made space for those who have rarely been granted a voice.
