Detour Summer Workshop Series

Detour's Summer Workshop Series is in San Francisco, CA. The workshops focus on devised immersive theater processes, drag artistry, and performance.

<h3>SCHEDULE</h3><ul><li>Monday, May 19, 5:30pm - 9:30pm</li></ul><p><br></p><h3>ABOUT THE "ACCESS IN PRACTICE" WORKSHOP</h3><p>This workshop explores performance craft with accessibility as a core artistic value, embedding access features from the start rather than treating them as an afterthought. Beyond basic compliance, we’ll examine how access can be an aesthetically exciting and artistically fulfilling element for both performers and audiences. Through hands-on exercises and discussion, we’ll workshop a variety of methods—both overt and subtle—to integrate accessibility into performance, whether on stage, in immersive environments, or nightlife spaces. By centering thoughtful design, we’ll discover how accessibility can enhance connection, deepen artistic expression, and expand the possibilities of live performance.</p><p>Participants should prepare 30-60 seconds of a performance (either completed or work-in-progress).</p><p><strong><strong>NOTE</strong></strong>: KN95 masks are required for all participants. Detour will have masks available if you need one.</p><p><br></p><h3>ABOUT DETOUR'S SUMMER 2025 INTENSIVE SERIES</h3><ul><li>Participants will be immersed in Detour Productions' approach to devised theater, experiential work, and drag artistry;</li><li>Each workshop is facilitated by Detour collaborators, offering unique vantage points into the company's creative process;</li><li>These workshops are geared towards advanced, pre-professional, and professional level dance &amp; theater artists;</li><li>Detour is offering sliding-scale tuition for each workshop, with no one turned away for lack of funds;</li><li>All workshop venues are ADA accessible and have gender-neutral restrooms;</li><li>For this workshop, Masks are required;</li><li>If you have any questions, please email directors@detour.productions</li></ul><h3><br></h3><h3>ABOUT GLAMPUTEE</h3><p>Glamputee (he/they/she) is a Black-white biracial, queer, disabled artist whose drag is a love letter to their expansive queerness, Black excellence, and crip magic.
