About this event
Saturday 11 November 10-1pm
The Writers’ Block, The Ladder, 2-4 Clinton Road, Redruth, TR15 2QE
16-24 year olds: FREE – Booking Essential
This ‘Storytelling with Drag’ workshop is for 16 – 24 year olds who want to have some fun and learn more about drag! We will be focusing on drag personas – the characters we make as drag artists and how we use the stage to tell a story through music/ lip-syncing/ comedy, often in under 5 minutes!
The workshop will be led by the fabulous YuGiHoe, a drag queen whose work is filled with clever jokes and pop culture references, and the excellent Dwayne Pipe, a drag king whose work explores masculinity through humour. Both have confident drag personas and often tell entire stories in the length of one song.
There will be an opportunity to develop a persona of your own, play with costume and start work on a number/ 3-minute-way to tell your story, with an opportunity to share your personas with others at the end!
These events will be safe, welcoming spaces, and we really encourage LGBTQIA+ young people and POC to come along. This event is part of a weekend of activities including writing workshops and a sharing of a work-in-progress of our show Smalltown Boy, please take a look at our other events too.
We suggest you attend the reading of Smalltown Boy by Brenda Callis afterwards at 2-5pm to really benefit from the workshop: Tickets & more info on The Writers’ Block website.
