This is our first workshop of three and will last approximately 3-hour focusing on body movement, characterization, and vocal tone/range for drag show performers with some taught lecture and breakout group work. It begins with an introduction and icebreaker activities, allowing participants to share their drag personas and engage in movement and improvisation games. The first segment covers body movement, including the psychology of gendered movements, techniques for various styles, and applying these movements to characters. The characterization section emphasizes building a persona, creating backstories, and embodying characters through physicality and emotion, with participants showcasing their work. The final segment addresses vocal tone and range, teaching techniques for voice care, modulation, and character-specific vocal expression, ending with a recap and Q&A session.
*Please note that we have opened these workshops up to others in the CTC community and those who have expressed interest in learning drag, thus we welcome you to share with anyone who is interested in attending.*
