Drag at the End of the World: Songwriting for the Apocalypse: The Workshop
A day-long popup workshop of character development and songwriting for your drag persona with Randy Miller and Invertebrat.
Through a series of exercises in storytelling, improvisation, and music basics, we attempt to collectively write and perform an album from the perspective of our drag persona in a single day. No prior experience needed.
The day will start off with a presentation of everyone’s existing personas - so we encourage everyone to bring costumes! We then move into some exercises for further character development that specifically place your character in a cataclysmic event (either before, during, or after the apocalypse). From this situated perspective, we will expand into the bulk of the workshop: songwriting for our drag personas AS our drag personas.
The day will finish with an open stage / drag show for both existing and fresh off the press musical numbers.
Come as your sloppiest, campiest, queerest selves and join us on this very experimental journey to lyrical armageddon.
