<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">Professor Lois Weaver - legendary lesbian performance maker and co-founder of Split Britches - will soon be retiring from Queen Mary University of London. Filmmaker
<a href="https://www.clairenolan.org/" title="https://www.clairenolan.org/">Claire Nolan</a> and former QMUL Drama Technical Director Matt Delbridge are making
<b>a documentary film about Lois and her life partner and collaborator Peggy Shaw - aka
<a href="https://www.split-britches.com/" title="https://www.split-britches.com/">
Split Britches</a></b>. The film is now in post-production and Claire and Matt - both of whom have long worked with Lois and Peggy - are
<b><a href="https://gofund.me/16b12874" target="_blank" title="https://gofund.me/16b12874">fundraising</a> to get through this stage and into festivals and auditoria</b>. I have been fortunate to see the film-in-progress and it is beautiful - a glorious ode
to Lois, Peggy, Split Britches, and their work, archives, audiences, relationship, love, and more. I know it is not usually the role of this listserv to post information about fundraising. But I hope some here might want to contribute to this film project
honouring and celebrating these extraordinary trailblazers of queer experimental performance. More info is here:
