Course Schedule:

Runs on Saturdays from October

Create a drag alter-ego, give lip-syncing a go or step into London’s cabaret scene for the first time

Our 10-week Cabaret & Drag Lab is a supportive environment taking participants through exercises and games to generate material and develop skills to create a new short set or act. The goal of the course is to create your own 3.5-minute set which you will perform at the end of term, in front of a live and supportive audience.

The Cabaret and Drag group meet weekly on Saturdays, with a public sharing on the final session which will take place on a Monday evening, where you’ll be able to showcase what you’ve learned over the course in a safe environment, at Dean Street.
