Queens, Clowns & Fools
Queens, Clowns & Fools is an introduction to subverting, honouring, parodying, and loving your gender expression in performance, as taught by multi-award winning drag clown Pearle Harbour (aka Justin Miller).
Pillaging from a wide breadth of influences – Pockinko clowning, bouffon, cabaret, commedia, and contemporary drag practice – students will tap into a presentational form that is both utterly ancient and entirely in the moment.
This course is geared to drag queens, drag kings, and drag things; clowns, comedians, storytellers, solo- and interdisciplinary performers; trans-, non-binary, and cis-creators of all ages and stripes; anyone who has the courage to stand in front another person and entertain with their wit, their heart, and their gender at play.
