Unleashing Your Inner Drag Royalty Session 2: Creating a Drag Persona

Cultivate the king or queen within, guided by local nonbinary drag performer Orion Ridgely.

There’s a lot more to becoming a drag king or queen than deciding on a clever name! In this class, we’ll discuss the importance of developing a strong sense of character when in drag, and what you should consider in order to create a drag persona that you will enjoy embodying.

Whether you're an aspiring performer, or you're simply interested in learning about the art of drag firsthand, this class series is for you. Yes, you! Regardless of gender, you can be a drag king, queen, clown, or whatever form of drag artist you can imagine. Drag can be for everyone!

Learn about the history of drag, along with how to develop your own drag persona, aesthetic, makeup look, and performance. Sessions will build upon each other, and participants will have the option of performing in a student showcase at The Catonsville Clubhouse in February.
