THE PERFORMANCE ART OF CALVIN DECLINE

ABOUT

Calvin Decline first appeared on the London drag scene as 'Cal Dreamy', participating in a heat of Man Up!, The Glory's Drag King competition. After reflection, and studying his reflection, Calvin changed his name and refined his aesthetic, continuing to perform whilst he did so. Calvin Decline was voted Mr. Congeniality at Brighton's King of the Fringe, and then came back to The Glory and won the second iteration of Man Up!, the U.K.'s largest Drag King competition. Since then, Calvin has received the expert tutelage of various performance art and cabaret superstars, such as The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein, Stacy Makishi, Lois Weaver, and Ursula Martinez. Mr. Decline joined the Duckie Homosexualist Summer School and performed at Duckie, The Royal Vauxhall Tavern, The Chelsea Theatre, and Latitude Festival. He has also performed with David Hoyle in The Prime of Ms David Hoyle. Calvin Decline continued to perform around London and Brighton, with notable relationships to Bar Wotever and the Bethnal Green Working Men's Club night, 'Drag Kings, Queens, and Inbetweens', until his recent relocation to San Francisco.
