Becoming earth:
an eco drag workshop

The earth is speaking. Through birdsong, cricket cadence, the groans of the land. This workshop asks a simple question: who wants to speak through you?

Using drag, costume fragments, movement, and collective myth-making, we embody plants, creatures, and fungi, discovering what they have to say, and what we might say back. No performance experience needed. Just a willingness to play.

You will leave with an ecological character, a new myth, and a shifted relationship to the more-than-human world.

Over 2.5 hours we will

𖦹 explore what eco drag is and why it matters

𖦹 be chosen by and embody a life-form

𖦹 explore eco-somatic movement prompts

𖦹 create a simple costume from available materials

𖦹 share stories and gifts from our more-than-human being

𖦹 create a short collective myth ritual together

𖦹 reflect and land back in ourselves

Something else in mind?

I design workshops in response to briefs tailored to your organisation, your community, your ecosystem. If you're working with a specific ecological theme, scientific concept, or nature-based idea and want something built around it, get in touch. Previous workshops have explored mycorrhizal networks, rewilding, queer ecology, and sensory connection to landscape.

Remember our childhood as minerals, as lava, as rocks?
We are the rocks dancing.
