Kylie and the infamous silver show curtain

It was a performance by Kylie Minogue and the Crazy Horse Saloon dancers on an ITV special (A poor quality vid is available here.) that inspired the silver show curtain that I sometimes use in my presentations.

It was the simplicity of the curtain that inspired. Something iconic that represents 'performance'. Easy, portable, and camp!

"I know that I personally have learned more about producing performative social science, for example, by watching Kylie Minogue than by reading Judith Butler. If 'camp' can be seen as a production technique, then I certainly owe more to the former than the latter". --Kip Jones
