Exploring Gender, Identity & Performance
Since 2019, König has been offering Drag King workshops that invite people to explore gender, performance, and identity in a creative and supportive environment. Over time, we’ve developed our own pedagogy methods and designed various workshop formats for different groups and settings.
Our workshops aim to help participants to engage and explore their gender identity, discover new ways of artistic expression and learn tools to create a drag performance.
Our workshops focus on some of the key parts of the drag creation process:
Drag History
Character Development
Performance & Lipsync
Makeup
Outfit & Crafting
We follow the natural flow of preparing a performance, starting with an idea, diving into research, and bringing it all to life on stage.
