As part of Diversity Week, OSU-Cascades is bringing Portland-based performance artist Kaj-anne Pepper to Bend to explore the intersections of dance, drag, and gender with "Diva Practice."

Diva Practice (Solo) is a dynamic, whimsical and confronting performance about drag queens dancing with uncertainty performed by and choreographed by Pepper Pepper.

Diva Practice (Solo) is a journey into the role of the "soloist" through multi-media projection, dance and drag. Beautifully chaotic and charming, Pepper peels back the psyche and archetype of “diva” in an exploration that is engaging, conceptual and sometimes hysterical.

Pepper Pepper will perform a selection from Diva Practice followed by a Q&A with the audience in Tykeson Hall, Room 111. This event is free and open to the public. Pepper Pepper will also hold an interactive Diva Practice workshop at 3:30 pm. Please RSVP for both events here:http://osucascades.edu/webform/diversity-week-queer-drag-history-dance-workshop-and-diva-practice-registration-form
