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.”

“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.”

“I'm so glad I did the Drag King 101 workshop! I was a complete drag king novice and I had a blast trying my hand at makeup and--much to my surprise--exploring body language and movement. Dorian is a highly skilled makeup artist and performer but just as important they are extremely generous sharing their knowledge and experience”

“An invaluable opportunity to learn from a seasoned performer with real life experience delivered in an honest, practical and inspiring way.”
