What folx have said about previous workshops:
“This was my first experience of learning to be a drag king. It was packed with loads of useful information and helpful tips. A great opportunity to speak to those of all levels of experience!”
“I learned a huge amount in just this one workshop. It was just enough information to get me started with drag as well as getting to learn some of its history.”
“A fantastic way of not only learning new things, but making great friends and connections within the performing industry.”
