Bringing your queer stories and poems to life.
What?
A playful and creative space for queer creatives to perform their stories or poems. We want to hear your highs, lows, and beautiful moments. This will be a safe space for performers of all experience levels.
We want to emphasise the tongue-in-cheek characters of the community, so welcome stories of that nature.
Trigger warnings would need to be announced.
If this sounds like your work, please contact us, we want to give you a platform.
Facilitated by?
Evie Rey (She/They), is a multidisciplinary artist, musician and an experienced space holder.
She is an identifying lesbian, queer woman who strives to openly celebrate and challenge identity.
Not ‘woman enough’ or ’too much woman’, two things she was often told as an emerging queer woman; two things that help form the foundation of her work.
Evie Rey’s work acknowledges the tidal wave of resilience and courage required to be queer. She is an LGBTQ+ storyteller.
You will have the option to be accompanied by her gentle improvised Celtic folk sounds, to help bring your performance to life.
