Celebrate trans theatre in style with a free event that is taking place over three days at Live Theatre in Newcastle this June.

‘Trans Performance Now’ is the result of two years of groundbreaking research done at Northumbria University in regards to trans and nonbinary performance making, and this three day festival is a huge collaboration with Queer Arts North to showcase the best and brightest from across the country. If theatre making is your thing then this is the perfect place to network with producers, managers and artists. You’ll also get a sneak peak into upcoming shows and ideas from some really talented people. The whole event is free, and lunch is provided (always a plus in my book), so sign up and check out this hotbed of incredible queer talent. MW

Trans Performance Now, Friday 27-Sunday 29 June, Live Theatre, Newcastle, Friday 3pm-7pm, Saturday 11am-8pm (followed by party and DJ until 11pm), Sunday 11am-4pm, free (although booking is essential). More info and booking details: live.org.uk
