LGBTQ+ Workshop: Performing gender with Sofia Södergård / Qarl Qunt

Explore queer spaces, masculine and feminine movements, expressions and social codes and devise methods to "hack the social codes" by mixing it all up together with Sofia Södergård aka Qarl Qunt.

Using drag queen and king techniques this workshop begins the creation of a character and explores our different selves and our relationship to people in the room. We will work with object/subject, clichés and stereotypes. No previous experience required.

'Indigo Flamingo' is a collaboration between Skånes Dansteater and Malmö Pride.
