A Merseyside-based lecturer is teaching students what goes into the art of drag beyond physical appearance.
Mark Edward, a reader in creative arts at Edge Hill University, is showing his students how a lot more work than just make-up goes into being a professional and successful drag artist.
Initially, the 51-year-old, who is from Wigan, was in charge of leading the UK’s first-ever module dedicated to the art of drag. Using his experience and research, he helped the university in Ormskirk become the country’s first higher education institution to offer such a module.
