The DRAGademy #9 – Monster, Magie und Mysterium

In the organizer's words:

The DRAGademy #9

Monsters, magic and mystery

SFX for drag performers with Phiphi Cumfort

Whether drag queen, drag king or fantastic creature - impressive looks can be conjured up with simple means. This practice-oriented workshop is all about special effects on a small budget: beard gluing, bald heads, artificial wounds and facial prosthetics. Tricks from theater, queer culture, cosplay and the DIY scene are taught - easy to use and effective for stage, club or camera. Previous knowledge is not necessary, advanced students can deepen their techniques and try out new things. The focus is on experimenting with materials, a playful approach to identity and the joy of transformation. Transformation is not just styling here, but expression - creative, bold and individual.

About the DRAGademy

Welcome to the DRAGademy - a joint initiative of PATHOS theater and Vicky Voyage that offers a ticket to the world of transformation, art and extravaganza. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced performer: The monthly workshop series guides you through the topics of make-up, wig styling, stage presence, costumes, lighting design, character work and much more. A performance is created from an idea - fierce, fabulous and authentic. After a master class, the final event is a showcase in which what has been learned is presented live on stage in front of an audience. Places are limited; participation in several workshops increases the chances of being on stage at the final event. The DRAGademy is open to all genders and levels of experience. Whether Queen, King, Thing or any other form - all colors of the rainbow are celebrated here!

HERE is an overview of all DRAGademy events.
