'I was born in 1994, then came windows 95, And I would dive online to be the true me – A 2cm avatar with a denim mini and a high pony. Online all the time, to avoid conversation and the frustration of being a he, she, they or me… I felt free.'
Overview
And The Rest Of Me Floats is all about the messy business of gender. Performers from across the trans, non-binary, and queer communities weave together autobiographical performance, movement, pop songs, stand-up and dress-up in this anarchic celebration of gender expression and identity.
Playful and powerful, And The Rest Of Me Floats explores how it feels to live in a society where you are regularly categorised and policed. ‘Do you see me?’. Beyond the questions, the confusion, and the anger – ‘do you really see me?’

Innovative, thought-provoking, intriguing, cathartic and significant, while highly entertaining and fun
A beautiful messy dance of instructions, rule breaking and expectations
Seven trans, non-binary and queer performers share stories from their lives in this pulsing and joyous show
And The Rest of Me Floats is a buoyant exploration of queer identity, of triumphant movement and fluidity
