Queer Family Cabaret

Welcome to a relaxed and fun afternoon for families of all ages and abilities, to learn and explore performance skills, located at the VFD Outsiders Gallery 64 Stoke Newington Rd. The workshop will be led by Arkem and Sally (see their details below).

The workshop will open at 1.30 and will run between 2 and 4.30 with time for feedback

(aim to arrive with at least 15 minutes to settle in).

The workshop begins with warm up games and an easy-to-follow process will then help you to create a character in the moment and to find a costume. Further games enable you to share your character and game in an impromptu co-created cabaret in front of the appreciative and supportive audience of your fellow participants. In cabaret the audience and performers are equally important and so there is no pressure to perform. This workshop will end in a celebration of each other.
With this workshop we hope that you will have laughed and created together as a family in a new and fun way. The workshop is held by experienced and caring performers and will be accessible, inclusive and responsive. Please do not hesitate to get on touch if you have any queries.

 This workshop has been well received by families. We would like this work to develop in a responsive way from the feedback from families and so this will be a low-fee offering with time at the end for feedback.

The ground floor is a fully accessible space with a bathroom designed by wheel chair users.
