A showcase of micro-commissions, promoting the trans community’s wealth of creative talent, presented by Pink Fringe and Trans Pride, supported by Arts Council England.
A £5 ticket will give you entry to all of the evening’s events, including two performances in the Marlborough Theatre, and a playful workshop in the Marlborough Pub between shows.
♦ BRAND NEW BOY – Elijah W Harris
I have one friend from Uni who would always accidentally touch my chest, as though I were a boy, as though I wasn’t a girl, as though I didn’t have boobs, as though I was binding my breasts.
Beneath the surface of my laughter were the first sparks of what would become a bonfire, a rapidly spreading forest fire, a burning world of molten rock.
BRAND NEW BOY sees Elijah W Harris processing the personal and social politics of transitioning and his recent surgery.
♦ INTERCHANGEABLE BODIES – Louisa Claughton
You’re invited to come and play for a while, to retrace our steps and try to work out how we got here. Is it as simple as pink and blue? And if it isn’t then where did that come from? This piece isn’t about finding the answers. It’s about exploring what we personally think the answers could be. Exploration with curiosity, openness and playfulness.
♦ HAYLEY AND ME – Kate O’Donnell
Hayley Cropper appeared in our living room three times a week. Although well-loved she was slightly over looked. Bringing Hayley back into the limelight, this cabaret explores Hayley’s Coronation Street storylines and how they relate to Kate’s own journey. Taking a nostalgic look back at this piece of trans history, expect a splash of music from the era, visuals, interaction and a very iconic anorak
