Instructors: Genesis & Gigi Lavande
Dates: Tuesdays, August 12 – September 16
Time: 6pm – 7:30pm
Draglesque is what happens when you blend the theatricality, gender play, and character-driven aspects of drag with the sensuality, tease, and storytelling of burlesque. It’s not about fitting into one style — it’s about breaking them open!
Over six weeks, you’ll dive into some of the core elements of both drag and burlesque: persona-building, costuming, character work, musicality, movement, and the art of the tease. You’ll be guided by Genesis and Gigi Lavande, who will bring their crossover experience and unique expertise in drag and burlesque together for a class that will help you play and find your drag persona while working on a striptease group act. Explore the intersection of glittery galaxies in a group performance progressive that builds on themes of movement, lip sync, striptease, costume play, and character development.
This class is open to all levels of experience and all gender expressions. No previous drag or burlesque experience needed — just bring your curiosity, your creativity, and a willingness to collaborate!
This class will end in a performance at the VBC Student Showcase on September 20 at the Rio Theatre.
What to wear/bring: indoor shoes, clothes you can move in, pen + paper
