Join us for a warm Encounters welcome and introduction to the festival. Meet the guest artists and speakers and discover what to expect across the festival programme.
Introductions will be followed by an Introduction to Allyship workshop led by Curious Arts.
Curious Arts present a gentle and supportive space to explore LGBTQ+ allyship through a presentation, conversation and personal reflection.
You’re encouraged to consider allyship in both personal and professional contexts, identifying ways to actively support LGBTQ+ communities with practical actions to foster inclusion, challenge discrimination, and create meaningful change.
Curious Arts is a LGBTQIA+ arts and youth charity based in Hartlepool and working across the North and beyond.
Supported by Queer Arts North & Curious Arts.
This is a free event as part of Collective Encounters, a two-day festival of dance for LGBTQ+ folx and their allies.
