We are seeking 2 new members!
Over the past 2 years, we at Pecs have been doing some restructuring, training and building of our ambitions for the future. As our output and the scale of our work continues to grow, we are now at an exciting point in our development!
We are inviting expressions of interest for 2 new members to join Pecs and be part of our work, company processes and decision making.
We are seeking out exciting performers to be part of Pecs. You don’t already need to be a seasoned Drag King, or even know who your drag persona is, that’s something we can find with you. But performance skills and an enthusiasm for Drag Kinging are a must.
This is not a defined salaried role but rather an invitation to be part of Pecs as a collective, helping to guide how we work and our future output. Any performance or project work that our members undertake is always paid.
Some of the work we do is not paid eg. general meetings, training, some admin tasks, but this is always completely optional depending on availability and energy.
We acknowledge that our company members at present do not represent the diverse racial backgrounds of the vibrant LGBTQIA+ Community. We are currently a majority white organisation and we acknowledge the bias this can have in our decision making. We have taken steps to ensure the organisation is a safe space for people from racially diverse backgrounds through undertaking Anti-Racism Training and continued personal learning. This call out for new members is the first organisational step to take positive action to recruit members from racially diverse backgrounds.
As such we are only seeking expressions of interest from those from the following backgrounds;
African or Caribbean heritage
South Asian heritage
East Asian heritage
West Asian heritage
Central Asian heritage
South East Asian heritage
East Asian and South East Asian heritage
Middle East and North African heritage
and those who have experienced racism.
By the term ‘those who have experience racism’, we are referring to individuals who have experienced discrimination based on the colour of their skin, race and / or their culture.
