Daniel Benitez ’21
My name is Daniel, I'm a senior in the Spanish and Portuguese department and I'm also an aspiring actor, dancer, drag performer, and makeup artist. For my independent research, I am taking an interdisciplinary approach to investigating how language constructs gender and, further, how different languages could produce different gender performances. The video I am presenting was created for a course on Performance and Brazilian Culture. I am performing as my Drag persona, Richie Richport, and lip syncing in Portuguese to a song about Brazil's annual Carnaval celebrations. Special shoutout to my best friend and roommate, Giselle Uribe, class of 2020, for her constant support and for filming this project.
