GENDERMESS PRODUCTIONS is a daring collective of Club Kids and Gender F*** drag artists, founded in Perth, Australia in 2013. Their mission is to push alternative drag and performance into the spotlight, breaking the boundaries of the gender spectrum with subversive and abstract creative spectacles. Led by Ginava—renowned for shape-shifting costumes, spoken word lip-syncing, and innovative productions—Gendermess has featured alongside icons like James St. James, Roisin Murphy, and Boy George. Celebrating their 10th anniversary, Gendermess debuted at Edinburgh Fringe and premiered their award-winning solo show "Split Lip" off-Broadway in 2024.
