Drag Workshop: The Art of Transformation with Kelindah Bee

Thanks to generous donors we are now able to offer this workshop for $100/$125/$150!

The workshop will begin with a focus on community-building, trust exercises and introductions. As the group acclimates to each other, we will create a shared understanding about what drag means to us, what our associations are with it and why it matters in the world. This dialogue will highlight one definition of drag: as an art form of transformation. We will discuss what we want to transform within ourselves, in our communities and in the world at large. Through movement exercises, games, and dramatic character explorations, we’ll practice many different ways of transforming. We will explore the skills of lip syncing and costume and make-up design as tools of character creation. Eventually, the workshop will culminate by sharing our budding drag personas-in-progress in a playful and joyous celebration.
