About
This workshop for participants with an existing drag practice will consist of exercises that I have learned in working in dance, theatre and music contexts that have benefited my drag practice. As well as reflecting on their existing drag practice, participants will learn more about lip sync technique, working with found objects, fleshing out personae, vocal projection, and experimental choreography.
