3rd December, at DCA
As part of Scotland’s Year of Stories 2022, Shaper/Caper presents Queer Stories – a brand new pop-up performance that explores the impact of Section 28 on the Scottish LGBTQ+ community. Through choreography by award-winner Thomas Small and verbatim spoken word performances inspired by interviews, Shaper/Caper hope to give voice to all those who have been silenced.
Queer Stories will be performed in queer-friendly spaces across Scotland, including Dundee Contemporary Arts as part of Transcendent – a mini-season of films and events, showcasing those exploring, questioning and transgressing perceived gender norms.
Following the Queer Stories performance, audiences will be invited to share their own memories and stories, continuing this important act of oral history.
When: Sat 3 Dec, from 1:00pm
Where: DCA, 152 Nethergate, DD1 4EA
This performance of Queer Stories is taking place during DCA’s Transcendent and will be ticketed. The performance will follow a screening of Lee Cooper’s film Maisie.
Find out more about the full programme for Transcendent (running Thu 1–Sun 4 Dec), including film screenings and Drag Queen Storytime!
