REX WHEELER | CHOREOGRAPHER
Originally from London, Rex Wheeler is a multi-faceted drag performer, actor, producer and
choreographer. Having trained in the UK at the Royal Ballet School and Elmhurst, Rex danced with
the Slovak National Ballet, Sacramento Ballet and Smuin Contemporary Ballet before becoming a
working choreographer here in the US. Rex simultaneously embarked on a career in drag, creating his
alter-ego Lady Camden and became the runner up of Season 14 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. He has since
performed all over the world, starring in solo shows, performing in world tours, producing music as
well as continuing to choreograph and produce shows here in San Francisco. Rex recently starred in a
new documentary, “Lady Like,” directed by Luke Willis which has been featured in many film festivals
around the world, and continues to perform, choreograph, and produce performances and events
throughout the year as both Rex and Lady Camden.
