Drag Heals (2018)

Meet the brilliant mind and heart behind Drag Heals, our host and creator Tracey Erin Smith. Drag Heals is a hybrid stage workshop and documentary TV series that follows six drag artists over a month of workshops to build their own show. In each workshop, a guest coach joins stage director Tracey Erin Smith in exploring soul-deep story sharing techniques as well as the unique talents and skills required from a drag performer. Over the course of the intensive workshops and story crafting, the participants dive deep into their personal lives to unearth lessons learned and bring them back to the audience as a gift. They are both the pirate and the pirated, the island and treasure. The resulting stories are emotional and cathartic, both for the drag artists and the audience who share in the experience.
