Performance/Workout: Workout like FLINTA* Werk like Drag (EN) with Feminist Spaces Collective | Park am Poststadion

Workkout like FLINTA* – Werk like Drag is a sport-based artistic intervention in public calisthenics parks in Berlin guided by drag artists. Calisthenics parks are the spaces traditionally coded as masculine, competitive, and performance-oriented. During this intervention the calisthenics park becomes a site where boundaries between sport and art, discipline and play overlap and dissolve. The drag artists lead the workout while expanding it beyond functional exercises. Inclusion of lip-sync performances, dance, games, and humor open the space to multiple forms of expression.

For the MOWE festival the Drag Artists will honor their pop star, cartoon or fictional character icons which they are going to embody and perform during the festival.
The audience is encouraged to come in drag or to come as they are.

The event is open for everyone, no sport experience need. In English. Participants take part at their own responsibility.
