Zorras’ Gender Diversity Arts Workshop

The creators of the event The Skinny calls “Edinburgh’s most consistently radical cabaret experience” are bringing a workshop and performance night south to Dumfries.

This workshop is geared towards writers and solo musicians who are interested in exploring gender diversity and increasing trans visibility through collaboration, live performance and/or multimedia work. Participants can be trans themselves or trans allies. The workshop lasts for 4 hours.

The aim of the workshop is to break down fears about reading and performing, give participants tools for successful stage appearances, and to discuss some of the “dos and don’ts” of collaboration and mixed-media projects.

After the workshop there will be an evening performance event, which will give participants the option of trying their first reading or debut something new at the mic. It will also feature exciting established LGBT writers and performers from around Scotland and the UK, including Jo Clifford, CN Lester, Ariel Silvera and Zorras. Find out more here.
