	The Zeugma: Interviews: Leigh Bowery
		Bowery explained his move away from clubland: "Michael liked the idea of how some movements and shapes looked on an untrained body, I didn't have a classical dance background, and I was very open and eager.
		Bowery discussed his work with the professional ingenuousness of those artists who prefer more attention be paid to the artwork than the reasons for its making.
		Put Bowery's imagery together with the facts of his immense physique, sexuality and huge sexual appetite (he admitted before his death that his biggest regret was "having unsafe sex with 1000 men"), and his work becomes a demonstrative monologue on the conflict between how our bodies are and how we believe them to be.

		Whenever the freaks are allowed their head on stage, Taboo is the kind of blast you associate with the tail end of a rocket...
		It is on the side of sexual freedom and spiritual independence, it exudes a touchingly innocent belief in the healing power of fame and the 22 Boy George songs have an instant melodic appeal: they at least put the British musical back in touch with the world of pop.
		Unlike Closer to Heaven, the show has heart as well as attitude, and, though Mark Davies's book is riddled with cliches, Boy George's music and lyrics are terrific, blessed with melody, wit and a yearning vulnerability.
