In preparation for the ISSG Drag Ball to be held on September 19, affiliated students are invited to join us for a Drag Performance Workshop featuring Theydy Bedbug and Issa Big Dragon! This workshop will be a place to hone your emerging drag persona and practice working the runway. We will touch on the history of drag culture as a catalyst for social change and explore the tools of movement, facial expressions, and costumes in expressive exercises and performance games. Bring your costumes and charisma!  

Whether it's your first time in drag or you just want to meet some fellow queens/kings before the big night, all student affiliates are welcome!
