Drag Lab
Kendal Pride brings you a unique opportunity called DRAG LAB supported by Westmorland & Furness Council.
Have you ever wanted to explore the art of drag, but weren’t sure where or how to start? Whether you dream of serving gender-bending looks, or simply discovering a new side of yourself, Drag Lab is here to help you express yourself.
Drag Lab is a series of fun, supportive workshops where you will enhance your skills and gain:
- Increased self-confidence & presence
- Understanding of drag history & culture
- A drag persona – name, aesthetic & character
- Have an act that you can perform at other gigs e.g. Kendal Pride
- Experience of performing & engaging an audience
- Connection with your local supportive & queer community
- Goals & next steps with coaching & guidance from professional drag artists
This community-led, creative programme will build towards 3 Scratch Nights – these are low pressure live events where you can build confidence and showcase your drag creations in front of a supportive audience.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or already performing, Drag Lab is open to everyone. All you need is curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to play with the possibilities of drag.
