Vanity Run Amok
Vanity Run Amok is the brain-child of mezzo-soprano, Leslie Ann Leytham, who was getting frustrated with keeping her varied areas of expertise and interest separate but equal. As a classical singer and experimental musician by training and a lover of pop music, drag and television culture by hobby, she discovered that all areas/genres share a common theme: a problematic representation of female-ness via a heavy-handed use of the term “diva” (for good and for bad).
Enter Anna Chiaretta Lavatelli and Brendan Nguyen. Anna's work as a video artist directly examines femininity and its expectations in cinema, while Brendan works to combine disparate musical genres in his own work as a pianist.
Produced by this power team of like-minded misfits, Vanity Run Amok will deliver all you never knew you wanted from the TV variety show format, which will air live.
