We opened our new season of workshops after a year-long break. What a year it’s been, with hope needed more than ever.

Participants from the Queercamp network at the University of Oxford topped their list of frustrations with the Supreme Court ruling.
We had to let the rage out before dreaming of the beautiful futures that were embodied on the catwalk: the ones without borders, where everyone has their place, where people come to terms with others’ preferences, where we’re aligned with the diversity of nature, where we find peace of mind against all odds.

This workshop was healing for us as facilitators too—a unique moment that can’t be replicated. 
It was a privilege to touch upon deep topics in a light-hearted way, through the playfulness of the participants’ costumes, make-up, music choices…and the catwalk, of course!

Huge thanks to Queercamp and the University of Oxford for making it happen 💜

Book your pay-what-you-can tickets to our Drag for the Future workshop at the LGBTQ+ Community Centre this Friday 6-8 pm.

The art of drag is a form of creative expression that discovers new identities, celebrates chosen communities and provides visions for the future. Multiple ways of being that are plausible for us today were once imagined within q***r communities through q***r performance. Drag questions the existing order of things and envisions possibilities.

The current contexts give us a lot to fight against leaving little place to imagine, dream and create. Drag for the Future is a breathing space to develop a communal sense of hope while performing preferred identities.

The workshop doesn’t require any drag or performing experience and you don’t need to think in advance about who you want to be, we will take care of that in the process.

Hope to see you at the workshop and practice hope together!
The link is in the bio.

🌈✨ Unleash your inner Shakespearean superstar! In December we rocked 'Drag for the Future' with ***rdom ***rcircle—participants strutted confidently, discovering their drag personas channeling their chosen identities.

‘I’m now walking confidently. I clearly discovered my own drag'

Rubbed by Masha Tiunova and Isabella Londoño, this workshop culminated in a fierce catwalk celebrating each of our amazing performers and the power of the United Queerdom community!

Next week we are running ‘Queer Shakespeare’ workshop for United Queerdom, and in June we will ‘Drag for the Future’ together into the Pride Month.

Next up: 'Queering Shakespeare' workshop! Let's rewrite the classics and celebrate diverse identities.

Thanks to United Queerdom for trusting us to create spaces where we connect, shine, and imagine better futures! 🎭🏳️‍🌈

Drag For The Future: A Workshop To Explore The Power Of Drag As An Instrument Of Hope

The art of drag is a form of creative expression that discovers new identities, celebrates chosen communities and provides visions for the future. Multiple ways of being that are plausible for us today were once imagined within q***r communities through q***r performance. Drag questions the existing order of things and envisions possibilities.

Drag for the Future is a 2-hour journey of creating your own drag persona from sharing the perceptions around drag through acting exercises and costume fitting to the fierce catwalk. It is a breathing space where you can explore your identity and develop a communal sense of hope.

Is pay as you can so there are no excuses!

🎭 Farewell Edinburgh and EdFringe! 🎉

As the curtains close on this incredible chapter, Tana Theatre Companies extends its heartfelt gratitude to all who've been a part of our journey. To our treasured audience, your unwavering support and lively spirits have made every performance a true joy. Your cheers, laughter, and applause have fueled our passion and creativity.

And to .shared.dorms thank you for embracing our diversity and allowing us to transform those spaces into platforms for change. Together, we stood against inequality, using our uniqueness to drive conversations and spark reflections with our workshop and later celebration DRAG FOR THE APOCALYPSE.

As we bid adieu, let's carry the spirit of EdFringe with us, continuing to break barriers and share stories that unite, inspire, and illuminate.

With profound gratitude,
Tana Theatre Company 💫

💜 Let us embrace our nakedness!🌸

Nudity, both physical and emotional, strips away the layers we hide behind and lays bare our authentic selves. It's a reminder that we're all human, with unique stories and experiences that shape who we are. Just as we shed our clothes to stand in our truest form, we also shed our inhibitions to connect on a deeper level with those around us.

In the embrace of another, whether it's a hug, a heartfelt conversation, or even a shared laugh, we find the strength to let our guards down. It's in these moments of vulnerability that we build bonds that are unbreakable, based not on appearances but on the courage to be real.

Let's challenge the notion that vulnerability is a weakness, and instead, let's celebrate it as a strength. By sharing our authentic selves with others, we create spaces of acceptance and love that nourish our souls
