We are looking for 5 aspiring queer performance makers who have at least two year of experience to develop a 20min work in progress performance.
Do you have an idea and need support getting it off the ground? We want to offer a place where you can experiment with your ideas, receive support in understanding them and test them in front of an audience both live and digitally.
Whether you are a cabaret performer who wants to make longer form performance, a theater maker who needs a stage or a dancer who wants to explore movement, a live artist or a spoken word performer
We’d love to hear your ideas!!
