These creative writing workshops for trans and non binary folks 18+ will be facilitated by songwriter and artist Maddie Morris and writer and playwright Tommi Bryson.
These workshops are about exploring themes related to safety - inspired by previous workshops we hosted in October - finding out what is important to our trans peers, and together we will decide on a creative output to share our experiences.
Come along to write in different styles in a relaxed setting with other trans and non binary people.
We'll cover free writing, list making, poetry, prose, with visual and written prompts to help you get your ideas onto paper. No previous experience is necessary, and you can join one or both workshops as each session will be different. All materials and refreshments will be provided.
The workshops are part of a project by Andro & Eve for trans and non binary people in South Yorkshire called We Contain Multitudes.
Please note: These workshops are solely for trans and non binary people in order to facilitate a supportive environment. If this does not describe yourself, feel free to subscribe to the Andro & Eve newsletter to be first to hear about future events and workshops.
Access: Each session will make time for a short break, and is held in a city centre venue with step free access. Gender neutral toilets are provided, but there is no accessible toilet. Access to a quiet space is provided. Masking is welcome, and we clean the air using a HEPA filter. Specific COVID guidance is below. Venue location shared upon booking.

We take precautions to manage the risk of COVID-19
We welcome the wearing of masks if that feels comfortable for you. We are limiting capacity to manage air quality and will make use of a HEPA air filter. Hand sanitiser is provided. We will enable a waiting list for this event in order that spare tickets can be released for those self isolating.
We would ask that you help us take responsibility for the care of our community by not attending If you have any symptoms of COVID-19 such as sore throat, continuous headache, dry cough, runny nose, loss of taste of smell, gastro issues or high temperature, or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, we ask that you do not attend.
Refunds - If you can no longer attend, please cancel your ticket to enable someone else to take your place.
Safer Spaces: Andro and Eve operates a safer spaces policy. By booking a ticket to either of these events you agree to follow the practices outlined. Find out more here.

Photography
We will have a photographer present on 22 November to document the event. If for whatever reason you do not wish to be photographed, please let one of the Andro and Eve team know and we'll make sure our photographer keeps you out of photos.
We ask that you do not take photos of anyone you do not know. This is to protect everyone in our space and safeguard their identity and location. Further guidance can be found in our Safer Spaces policy.
Andro and Eve are a queer arts organisation based in South Yorkshire. They create memorable events to celebrate queer culture where everyone is welcome. Their programming is focused on voices otherwise marginalised, to reflect and celebrate the diversity that exists within the LGBTQ+ community.
