From Dancer to Diva: Virtual Make Up Workshop

Saturday 22 October, 1pm-2.30pm (UK time)

Book tickets HERE

Join a company dancer in their virtual dressing room to see their makeup routine for a typical performance. Learn about what it takes to get ready for a show and about the dancer’s journey to becoming a member of the Trockadero. Learn make-up tips and application techniques used to create The Trocks’ on stage personas. Watch as The Trocks performer takes you through a ‘real time’ demonstration of their preparation routine from their dressing room.

Make-up is vital for Trocks performers whose transformations take 1-1.5 hours before each performance. Accentuating the eyes, eyebrows and lips helps convey the expressive qualities and humour of the choreography while staying true to the characters they portray under powerful stage lighting.

This event is a must for make-up and performing arts students, performance artists and drag enthusiasts. Just enjoy the demonstration or join in and make up your face during the session too!
