Performing Resilience Application
ABOUT THE PERFORMING RESILIENCE WORKSHOP
This 10-week personal narrative, performance, and storytelling workshop is designed for experienced and non-experienced storytellers who identify as LGBTQ Asian Pacific American. We seek to prioritize space for Transgender women, Transgender men, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and undocumented individuals. During the course of the workshops, participants are given a generous amount of time, space, and support to develop new performance pieces based on their own narratives. Participants will get an introduction to the broader work of the Resilience Archives and will be led through a series of writing and performance workshops including movement and vocal workshops. After learning from various professional writers, performers, and each other, the workshop culminates in a public presentation called Performing Visible Resilience, where every workshop participant is paid to perform their new piece.
This workshop is valued at $500, but we are are able to provide these workshops free for participants through the generous support of the Queer Cultural Center, APICC, Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, California Arts Council, and Cal Humanities.
