An introduction to gender and embodiment for cisgender folk (i.e. those whose experience aligns with their assigned gender). This will look at the ways our embodied experiences are shaped by our gender, and explore what it means to support trans siblings in practice. This session will be led by Tripod.
The club as a community and a site for performed politics: deep/ queer house, vogue femme, lipsync and ballroom.

This closing session will be a space for reflection and feedback. We can discuss ways we can share what we’ve learned and explored with our wider communities. We can talk about if we want to do more sessions and /or projects together.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
