The workshop focuses on textile manipulation, starting from the recovery of existing garments, to create stage outfits for Drag Queens. The educational activity is organized in collaboration with the PoliEdro, student association of the Politecnico di Milano, and aims to enhance and promote the association's activities among students. The figure of the Drag Queen within the LGBTQIA community is highly regarded. With this workshop, want to analyze the most important part of the transformation of a Drag Queen: the dress and its great communication value. The dress is in fact a distinctive sign of a Drag: the style identifies her and ensures that she is recognized immediately. Therefore, the dress becomes the identity tool of the performer both within the Drag context and towards a wider audience. The workshop is aimed at creating the outfits that the students of the PoliEdro association will wear during the variety event scheduled for spring 2023 (hypothetical date of May 19th).
Aim: Understanding the value of the dress in the Drag world; acquire new skills; connect, involve and entertain the entire Politecnico community.
