Welcome!

Thank you for showing interest in the in-person cohort of the Fall '25 cycle of Drag Performance: Between & Beyond Gender. The purpose of this informal application is to gather information about potential participants in order to select a balanced cohort of no more than 12 participants. The true cost of tuition is $600, with tiered pricing from $300 to $900, in addition to several full scholarships for QTBIPOC participants.

Please note: This class will be filmed as the subject of a short documentary film that will capture the 12-week program cycle. Cameras will be present in class for select classes & participants will be notified ahead of time for those class dates. Participants will also be provided release forms to review during the class registration process. If you are accepted into the cohort, you are consenting to be a part of this documentary film. The intentions for making this film are to capture the relationships developed during the class, the transformations that occur over the course of the semester, and the necessity for gender-affirming creative spaces. 

This application is due by 11:59pm on Monday, September 1st. Interviews will be conducted from September 3rd-5th. You will be notified of your participation by the afternoon of September 5th.
