DAFT: Inside Drag with Les Femmes

Les Femmes, New Zealand’s cabaret drag sensation is coming to DAFT! This trio of gals deliver slick vocals, tight choreography, and bucket loads of belly laughs.

Come behind the scenes and grab a taste of Drag prep and performance! DAFT 2022 are excited to be hosting the Les Femmes queens for an insightful performance preparation demonstration. Join us for a fascinating window into the complex 'getting ready' process the Les Femmes queens embark on each time they prepare for a performance. From makeup design and application to body work, wigs, jewellery and costuming - watching the queens become 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' and performance ready is an education you won't want to miss out on! You will have lots of opportunities to ask questions and talk with Les Femmes about Drag performing.

This is a koha event. To register (plus a support person if you need one), please email daftfestivalteam@gmail.com. Limited to 14 participants.
