Join ActNow Theatre Associate Artist Valerie Berry for a multidisciplinary theatre-making workshop exploring the many ways we carry, express and negotiate our intersecting identities. Through themes of community, joy, memory, stereotypes, assumptions and imagined futures, participants will explore belonging, complexity and the spaces between different parts of ourselves.

Expect a supportive environment for creative expression, collaboration and a rich exchange of ideas and practice.

Please note: you must be a person of the Global Majority (Person of Colour) and be able to attend both sessions to be eligible for this workshop.

Supported by Create SA and the ActNow Theatre Accomplices
