About This Event

Explore movement, voice, writing and music, solo or collective. Drop in for a session or join the full series building toward a group opera Queer Voices is a creative workshop series exploring movement, voice, writing and music, with space for both individual and collective approaches to the work. Across four sessions the group builds week by week toward a short "queer opera" film made together. You're welcome to join the full series and take part in shaping that piece from first ideas through to filming, or to drop in for a single session and work with the material in your own way, whether that's alongside others or more independently. Each session draws on movement, voice work, creative writing and music-making. All levels of experience are welcome, from complete beginners to professionals. The main thing required is a willingness to explore, play and try things out. If you attend the full series you'll take part in developing a piece collectively with the group, working alongside other LGBTQ+ people and allies who are curious about what a group can make when it makes something together, letting queerness guide how. If you drop in for a single session you'll still take part fully in that day's work, using the same tools and exercises, with more freedom to follow your own thread through them. The emphasis throughout is on process rather than polished results. What the group creates across the series will be filmed and shared publicly, with a possible launch event to follow. Material from drop-in sessions may also feed into this, depending on how the sessions develop. Open to all levels and backgrounds.
