About the workshop and what to expect:

This workshop is for those who want to explore new forms of expression in stage performance and are curious about gender and norm criticism.As a participant, you will playfully explore "drag" through exercises in physical expression, use of attributes, and improvisation, allowing your own king/queen to emerge.The workshop offers a bodily experience of the impact of gender-based structures, and gives you access to a wider range of expressive possibilities to use both privately and on stage.Practical exercises are combined with reflection and discussion.

NOTE - The workshop is held in Swedish, but it's open to those with a rusty or shy Swedish. You are most welcome to respond in English. Certain things can also be explained in English.
