Self-Confidence & Stage Presence

Femmepowerment! How to stand like you’re six feet tall, from the stage to the street. Our workshop we like to do with young people and folks our own age, that takes the tools of stage performance and applies them to how we see ourselves, our potential, and our important voices in everyday life. [Heather, Shomi, Damien + more]

Love for EveryBODY: In a fatphobic society it is a radical act for anyone to love their body. This interactive, humorous and tender workshop provides a safe space for people of all body types, sizes, sexualities, gender expressions and abilities to explore learning to love your body as it is. Body liberation activism, Health at Every Size, and using movement and fashion to improve self-esteem will be discussed. (Bevin)

Storytelling & Writing

What they told you not to say: So many of us have been made to hold our tongues. As women, queer and trans folk, and people of color, our stories have been silenced so long that we often struggle to find the words to truly express ourselves. What if you were truly given permission to say what you’ve never been allowed before? In this interactive creative writing workshop, writers of all levels with be guided through group dialogue and shared writing prompts to unlock and give voice to the truths we hold in the pits of our stomachs and beneath our bitten tongues.
