Alyssa Fluit ( She/They )

Headshot of Alyssa

MA Student

Alyssa is in her second year of the MA program at Carleton having graduated with a BMus in Musical Theatre Voice from Carleton in 2023 and a Graduate Diploma in Arts Management from Queen’s University the same year.  Currently, their research is focused on how queer meaning is found and renegotiated within heteronormative music and its fan bases.  The case study used for their MA thesis is Taylor Swift’s work and her queer fanbase known as “Gaylors.”
They are a huge musical theatre fan and love to work backstage vocal directing or stage managing, with some stand-out favourites being Rent and Matilda.  When Alyssa’s not on campus, you can find her in tap class, crocheting, or cuddling up with her cats, Bon-Bon and Marmalade.
