party- it went okay.

2)DRAG KING ONE-DAY WORKSHOP and CALL FOR DANCERS
* Ever wondered what it would be like to perform?
* Ever wondered what you would look like in drag?!
* Ever wanted to perform but feel you are too shy/nervous/inexperienced?
* Ever wanted to be onstage at the San Francisco Drag King Contest?
If you answered 'yes' to any or all of the above questions, READ ON!
************DRAG KING ONE-DAY WORKSHOP, Saturday July 29th**************
JAY WALKER, winner of the Mr. Trannyshack and San Francisco Drag King
of the Year (solo king) contests, co-founder of the drag king troupes
the Bent Boyz of St. Louis and the Cockivores of San Francisco, is
hosting a one-day DRAG KING WORKSHOP on Saturday, July 29th, from 1 to
5 pm, at DanceGround Keriac, 1805 Divisadero @ Bush.
Open to all genders, ages, and experience levels! Vinnie Dicktive and
Papi Cock of the Cockivores will be Stud Staff members of the
workshop, with possible appearances by additional Cockivores and other
drag troupe members.
FIND YOUR INNER DRAG KING!
This for everyone and anyone who is interested in drag kinging whether
you have done it before or not. We'll focus on facial hair tips,
binding, packing, walking, posing for the camera, choosing a name, and
personal and political aspects of gender exploration.
DANCE LIKE A DRAG KING!
We'll discuss choreography, movement, and performance tips, and Jay
Walker will be teaching the choreography for his upcoming
"stepping-down" number at the San Francisco Drag King Contest at the
DNA Lounge on August 17th.
About getting on stage: This is your opportunity! If you're not sure
about getting onstage just yet, just come to the workshop and then
decide. Learning the choreography doesn't commit you to anything.
Allow me to warn you though, once you catch the performing bug there's
no going back! Also, this is an opportunity to gain some confidence
and get some tips for doing your own performance and entering the
contest. You can even do both!
This workshop is limited to 20 participants, so be sure to get your
info to me ASAP! (See below for details on how to register.)
COST: No one will be turned away for lack of funds, although in
addition to being an opportunity to get all of you onstage this is
also a fundraiser to cover the cost of rehearsal space for SFDK. A
$25 - 50 donation would be much appreciated.
************CALL FOR DANCERS**********************
If your main goal is simply to perform at the San Francisco Drag King
Contest, here are the rehearsal dates and performance options:
BEGINNER'S GROUP
*Less difficult choreography but you will still be required to learn
some moves and get up and be hot. Not hard for you guys, I know.
*REHEARSAL DATES:
Monday, July 31st, 7 - 9pm (If you come to the drag king workshop,
you do not need to attend this rehearsal unless you would like to
review what you learned.)
Tuesday, August 15th, 7 - 9pm
Wednesday, August 16th, 7 - 8pm (Dress rehearsal, night before the show)
ADVANCED GROUP
*More difficult choreography. If you know you learn pretty fast, can
remember steps, and are a fairly confident dancer, this is the group
for you.
*REHEARSAL DATES:
Thursday, July 27th, 7 - 9pm
Thursday, August 3rd, 7 - 9pm
Tuesday, August 15th, 7 - 9pm
Wednesday, August 16th, 7 - 8pm (Dress rehearsal, night before the show)
Both groups are open to all ages and genders.
All rehearsals are being held at ODC Dance Studios, 351 Shotwell,
between 17th and 18th. www.odcdance.org
********ABOUT SFDK AND JAY WALKER************
www.sfdragkingcontest.com
www.genderfreak.com
Our SFDK performance will be multimedia with a kick-ass DVD projecting
on the screen behind us, edited by local celebrity filmmaker Sally
Rubin. We will be using the song "Viz" by Le Tigre (off the album
"This Island"). If you want to get a head start, get the song and
learn it. My vision is to have the number represent solidarity and
our community as a whole. I'd like the number to include a ton of
people representing everyone from drag kings and faux queens, to drag
king lovers and fans, friends, etc. embodying my experience of the
performance community in San Francisco and everyone who is a part of
it. We are even planning some star cameos!!
*********HOW TO REGISTER***************
To register for the workshop, send me your name and a brief
description of why you would like to participate and what you hope to
get out of it. You can email it to jsevelius@gmail.com
To register to be a dancer, send me your name and which group you
would like to join.
Above all, let me know ASAP what your status is or if you have any
questions/comments/concerns and LET'S GET BUSY!!
For those of you (or your friends) who might want to be on stage but
not have to dance or put in rehearsal time, there will be an
opportunity for you to get onstage too. Just let me know you are
interested and we'll talk.
Tell all your friends and please repost!!
Can't wait to share the stage with all of you!
xoxo,
Jay Walker
