Pretty Boi Drag invites you to explore the art of masculine performance in a safe, supportive, and empowering environment. This interactive workshop is designed for all gender expressions, welcoming individuals who are curious, seasoned performers, or those simply looking to embrace their masculine alter ego. Our experienced and talented Drag King instructors will guide you through the intricacies of character development, makeup techniques, costuming, and the art of commanding the stage with confidence. Instructors will engage in a series of fun and dynamic exercises to help you develop your own distinct performance style, from commanding stage presence to perfecting lip-syncing skills. No matter your level of experience, our Drag King Workshop is a judgment-free zone where you can explore, experiment, and evolve into the King you were always meant to be.
Dress comfortably, bring your enthusiasm, and let the journey to becoming the ultimate Drag King begin! It’s time to crown yourself and rule the stage!
