"As a non-binary trans drag queen with dwarfism, Reynolds must be in a minority of one. Yet to define Reynolds purely in those terms would be to do them a massive disservice, since they are also a writing and performance powerhouse."
"Now Midgitte is back in another august performance space, London's Southbank Centre, with Shooting From Below. It's their first show since recovering from spinal surgery last year, after a near-miss with a condition that could have seen them paralysed from the waist down."
"I've been radicalised by the existence I have and the way I'm treated, they say. If I was somebody without dwarfism, I'd probably be quite normcore. Because deep down, I'm a grandpa."
Tamm Reynolds, known as Midgitte Bardot, is a non-binary trans drag queen with dwarfism. They are a powerful performer and writer, recently returning to the stage after spinal surgery. Reynolds' performances are provocative, including a memorable act involving a cherry-picker and a jug of liquid. They express the challenges of living with dwarfism, including spinal issues, while embracing their identity. Reynolds feels radicalized by their experiences and acknowledges that their unique perspective shapes their art and interactions with the world.
