Calling all lichen-lovers, bird nerds, queer ecologists and modern humans looking to expand your performance/survival toolkit! Join us for some low-stakes experiments in transformation. Part clown training / part movement workshop / part science fair…
Naturedrag is an ancient/emergent practice of absurdist consumed presence — an alternative beyond-binary 3rd form, neither king nor queen but dragkin — celebrating horizontal relation over royalty, indulging in anthropomorphism as a way to destabilize anthropocentrism. Eli Nixon and Patrick Costello will facilitate costumed play, opportunities for individual work, and group collaboration.
The workshop is from 5:30-7:30 pm. No experience necessary. All abilities and identities welcome. Workshop participants can bring their own costuming materials or use the ones we bring.
At 8 pm, the “Crabaret” will begin, a variety show consisting of music, acts, and banter that Eli and Patrick perform. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to participate if they choose.
Made possible with a New England Foundation for the Arts New England States Touring (NEST) grant.
