Drag Performance Workshop at UIUC, 10/27

I just got the following notice from UIUC's LGBT News Listserv:

Drag Performance Workshop

Friday, October 27, 2- 4pm
Office for LGBT Resources
Rm 323 Illini Union.

Everyone is welcome to join us for a workshop to explore the dynamics of gender and performance. Come pick up tips and practice their costume! Explore your masculine and/or feminine side or blur the boundaries in a safe, and fun setting. This interactive workshop will be led by Rene Chadwick, makeup artist for the Krannert Center for Performing Arts.

You will have an opportunity to see your friends be transformed into a different gender or defy gender altogether right before your eyes! We will also provide a handout list of items you may need for your costume and where to get them!

This workshop is right in time for Halloween but also will help you get started on your costume for the Colors Of Pride First Annual Drag Ball, Nov 4 at the Grand Ballroom of the Illini Union from 8 pm - midnight. The Drag Ball is open to all and will feature a dance, performances, prizes, and a drag competition! All are welcome to come in drag of whatever gender they desire.

Sponsored by the Office for LGBT Resources. For more information, contact kkempdel@uiuc.edu
