Interested in drag but not sure where or how to start? Or maybe you've already been performing and want a space to develop new ideas?

‍

The Five Senses of Drag is a three-hour workshop exploring how to build a drag persona from the inside out. Through guided exercises, you'll use sound, smell, taste, touch and sight to develop character, aesthetic and performance ideas.

‍

This is a low-pressure, discussion-led space focused on inspiration, storytelling and creative development. Join the Motherless Collective (MoCo) for a free, community-led drag workshop where you'll explore and build your drag character together in a culturally safe and supportive environment.

Come as you are. Leave with a character

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
