Join Newcastle based DGA (Drag King, Gender Chaos and Alternative Drag) Collective to collaboratively plan the Home-rearing post view / closing celebration. Expect a warm welcome, yummy snacks, chats and an opportunity to try out a few party games like the pacifist piñata. We are looking for “really gentle party pal” volunteers for the party on Saturday 29 April, who would be happy to chat to / support folks who request some extra support to attend, if you’re interested in being one of these folks this planning session will help you to learn more about that. You also might want to help plan and suggest some games / activities of your own or chat to DGA members about trying out / developing your own drag character / activities.
FREE but please reserve a ticket by emailing Kitt’s project coordinator, Beth on info.ladykitt@gmail.com with the subject: “Really Gentle Party Planning” to book a place.

This event is free, but all under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. There will be a bar serving refreshments, operating a strict Challenge 25 policy.
DGA formed in 2018, they run access focussed drag workshops and performance events around the North East. They are a queer performance collective and LGBTQIA+ mutual aid group. The social, support and wellbeing aspects of the group are just as important as the drag!

Throughout April, Kitt and their two children Finn & Ada, will be working in our gallery every day we are open. During this time, they are inviting NewBridge communities to join them in “Home-rearing”, an 18th century English phrase for a community building a barn or dwelling together.
Each day will offer something slightly different including drop-in activities, bookable workshops, sound baths, drag performances, talks, chats and parties.
