Celebrate the flamboyant female performers who have inspired and delighted lesbian and gay audiences over the last 100 years. We adore them, we impersonate them, we want to be them - or be with them.

Through a mixture of talks, performance, screenings and audience participation, this event will look at the complex relationship between queer audiences and their divas of choice.

Contributors include:

• David McAlmont on Shirley Bassey
• Amy Lamé on Dusty Springfield
• Heidi Liscious on Madonna and Bette Midler
• Joe Pop on the divas in his life
• Rupert Smith on Dalida

Plus take part in and enjoy:

• the Diva Fever quiz from Marcus Reeves
• diva make-overs from Performotopia
• film clips from the BFI archive
