Nando Messias trained at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. His work straddles performance art, dance and theatre, combining beautiful images with a fierce critique of gender, visibility and violence. As well as a practitioner, Nando is movement director and a researcher of queer theory and performance with a number of publications in the field. Nando completed a national tour of The Sissy’s Progress in 2015/16, followed by a tour of Shoot the Sissy in 2016/17 and a one-off performance of Death and the Sissy in 2017. His latest performance, The Pink Supper, was presented in November 2019 in London
