All Gender Drag Make-up Workshop

Drag is a play with genders and gender expression - for example through make-up, but also through clothing and appearance. Do you do drag or have you always wanted to try it out? Come to our workshop!

In this workshop we want to discover and try out together how you can develop your own drag look with make-up. There are no rules - we're all born naked and the rest is drag! Whether masculine, feminine, androgynous or completely different - there are no limits to your creativity. The workshop leaders will give you theoretical and practical knowledge about different products and support you with tips and inspiration from their own experience as drag artists.

You don't need any previous experience and everyone is welcome. However, we reserve the right to exclude people for disrespectful behaviour towards other participants.

We will have disinfected makeup available to borrow, but feel free to bring your own material - and if you feel like it, an outfit to admire the whole look at the end!

The workshop will be held in German and/or English spoken language. If you have any questions about accessibility or other uncertainties, please feel free to contact us.

max. 20 participants

 

Jani Makowski aka Cynna Moon (@i.am.cynna.moon) is a Berlin drag quing and has been performing at festivals, demos and bars for about a year, often together with members of the Venus Boys (@venusboysberlin) and other queer performers. Breaking out of binarity and playing with gender expressions is a constant theme in everyday life as a non-binary person as well as on stage. 'Out of drag' Cynna is studying a master's degree at Alice Salomon University and freelances in education.

Carlo Zeit (also known as Switch) is a trained costume designer and drag performer. Switch completed a Bachelor's degree in Costume for Performance at the London College of Fashion and then worked in various German theaters as an assistant costume designer and costume designer, including the Berliner Ensemble. In addition to theater, Switch has also outfitted films from the independent scene, often experimentally and conceptually, but also playfully for some children's plays. Most recently for I need Hero, which premiered at Podewil Berlin in February. Since 2017, Switch has been a passionate drag performer, starting with the 80s drag king character Otto Autobahn, through all kinds of clownish characters to the London drag queen Shamepaine, who tries her hand at political comedy.

"I enjoy watching people transform into beings who give space to a certain side of their personality, leaving behind the seriousness of our social panopticon and its strict gender rules and letting their inner child speak out. In my opinion, there are no limits to this; as we all know, pants belong on your head and socks on your hands."
