I’m a bad woman with some bad skills. Can I teach a workshop?

Absofuckinglutely. We are always looking for new workshops to run and are happy to talk to you about what you can bring to The Bad Academy! Shoot us an email

Where are these workshops hosted?

At the moment, our in-person workshops are only in so-called Vancouver, BC at various venues that will tolerate our shenanigans, but there’s a dream to be bad all over the world in person! Otherwise you can catch us on the World Wide Web for our many online workshops. Check out our Honor Roll membership!

Are you Inclusive?

How we define “women” is broad and open to change. We include cis-women and trans women, as well as gender-fluid and folks identifying on the femme-spectrum. A hetero cis-woman runs this organization and she fully recognizes she probably doesn’t know shit, but tries and hopes you appreciate that <3 Always learning, and always listening! PS: TERFs can hit the bricks.

I love this concept, but I can’t afford to attend.

Don’t fret! We all have fallen on hard times at some point. We want to be as inclusive as possible, and that includes people from different socio-economic backgrounds. Shoot us a message and we'll see what we can do! You can also apply for a Bad Scholarship! Don't be shy.

How frequent are these workshops and do they repeat?

Our in-person workshops typically happen once every season, so if you don't catch it this time, you can keep an eye out for the the next one which will likely be scheduled in a few short months! Our recorded online workshops are always available if you are an Honor Roll member :)

Can I bring Friends?

Um ah doy. Please do and tell them to bring their mom.

Can I help?

Girl yes. We are up to our tits in things to do and love that you want to contribute! Shoot us a message and we'll see if there are an opportunities!

Refund Policy

Tickets are transferable, but unfortunately not refundable at The Bad Academy. We're a crazy small organization and operate on razor-thin margins, and as much as we'd like to account for life getting in the way, we have been burned too many times by no-shows, and last-minute refund requests, etc. If you'd like to transfer your ticket to a friend, please email us with the name and email of the person taking your place, and we'll make sure to make the appropriate changes!

Any other Questions?

Message us here or slide into our DMs!

We love nerds that ask too many questions.
