    Travis Alabanza (aka Travis Alabanza-Behard[2]) is an English performance artist, poet and writer.

    Travis has African American and Filipino heritage. They grew up in a working-class home, their family struggling with poverty.[3] Their family has always been supportive of Travis' gender and expression.[4]

    Gender-wise, Travis mainly uses the labels trans and gender non conforming, but is okay with being described as nonbinary.[5]

    Travis was studying Philosophy and Political Sciences at university before dropping out to become a performer.[4][6] Their first show was titled Stories of a Queer Brown Muddy Kid which they performed at Stokes Croft Arts Festival.[7]

    After having a hamburger thrown at them for being trans/GNC, Travis created a theatre/poetry performance titled Burgerz, which "looks at how trans and gender non-conforming people move through the world and interact with others, questioning the responsibility that people have to each other".[8][4]
