Drag Bootcamp

Part of Q2Q: A Queer Barns Series

Ready to take your first step into drag? 

Drag Bootcamp is a five-week workshop series designed for aspiring drag performers, no experience required. This is your chance to learn the fundamentals of drag and become your dream queen, king, thing, or something entirely your own. 

Led by a curated lineup of local Edmonton drag artists, these workshops will introduce you to the essentials of building a drag persona, developing your look, and bringing your performance to life. At the end of the five weeks, there will be a dazzling live showcase performance at the Fringe Theatre Arts Barns for participants to show off what they have learned. 

Class is in session, darlings. For a full list of facilitators, see here: fringetheatre.ca/q2q
