3.9.2026 - Workshop: Camp-ing it up!
Instructor: Rin (Poland) | Teaching language: English | 18:30-20:00
Avenue Bar & Diner, upper floor

What do drag, burlesque and camp have in common? In this workshop, we explore why camp is a cornerstone of drag and burlesque culture and how you can use it in your own art. Topics include absurdity, expression and character building. The instructor is Polish Rin, known as an expert in camp aesthetics and a subverter of audience expectations. Performance experience is not necessary - all levels and backgrounds are welcome, including those simply interested in the subject.

Price: 30 € / 25 € (reduced earlybird price if you register by the end of July)
