This event came about when one younger person wrote this on the wall for our Bar Wotever Group on FaceBook:
‘Hey, just a thought on an event you might consider having. I think some of us might be interested in… gah I’d hate to call them “passing techniques” because that just sounds bloody awful but like… sort of ways you can work around your given bodily shape, anatomy, features, etc. to maybe do some things you want to do. Like I’d love to learn how to have realistic facial hair, the sort of quality drag king style, but I’d have no idea where to start. Maybe we need some GenderPlay workshops from people who can give you a few tips?’
So, as some of us have ‘worked’ with this for many years, both on a professional and personal level we created this event. So, come if you are interested in gender, and gender expressions. It’s playful and exploring, nothing is set in stone and it’s based more on creating a space to explore than be given set answers…
