#12 – Queering the Open Stage: A Conversation with Nimruz De Castro, Kevin Groen & Tuaca Kelly

Join Kevin Groen, a Behavioral Change expert and spoken word artist, alongside Nimruz De Castro, a poet and fiction writer, and Tuaca Kelly, an American poet, songwriter, and performance artist as they talk about Queer Open Stage, a monthly open stage by and for queer artists hosted by Frame Framed.

Tune in as the speakers share their personal experiences and showcase their creative work, addressing vital topics such as racism, queerness, and allyship. They explore the intricacies of identity and underscore the significance of dedicated spaces, particularly those for the queer communities. They emphasise that these spaces go beyond merely avoiding triggers; they are crucial for creating environments that foster learning and growth.

Queer Open Stage, a vibrant monthly event at Framer Framed, showcases talented performers from diverse backgrounds in music, dance, comedy, and poetry. Each edition features curated performances before opening the stage to individuals of all disciplines – singers, dancers, poets, and comedians. It's an inclusive space for the LGBTQI+ community, welcoming performances in all languages.
