Trans Chorus is a space for trans+ people to revel in our sounds and movements. We lean into how our bodies may sit outside of normative expectations, using communal singing, gentle movement, rhythm and improvisation as the primary tools of exploration.
Every 3rd Sunday of the month, Trans Chorus hosts a workshop at Staffordshire St for trans+ folks at the intersections of disability, chronic illness and neurodivergence. Workshops focus on experimenting with the voice and movement to find embodied paths to creativity, routes which are generative for our bodies and support states of regulation.
No one is turned away for lack of funds. If you are financially able, please consider the pay it forward option or donating to keep Trans Chorus and Staffordshire St accessible to all.
We recommend attendees wear clothes you can move in and bring a bottle of water plus some snacks if you need it! All movements will be accessible to people of all abilities.
We welcome everyone who falls under the spectrum of transgender, whether that means your gender differs from the gender you were/are assigned, your gender can't be contained within binary prescriptions of gender, or you are at a stage of questioning your gender.
Please note that this session will be filmed by Remi Yenn as part of their upcoming documentary exploring how trans+ folks use embodied practices to connect to themselves. Participants can opt out of being included in any public sharing of the documentary if they wish to. If you have any questions, please contact yennremi@gmail.com
Accessibility: There is step-free access to the gallery via the door to the left hand side of the main entrance. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet. The event will be taking place in the exhibition space, which is a large open room with bright lighting and some seating available.
Our Accessibility Pack is available here.
Staffordshire St is an independent project space in Peckham, South East London. The venue facilitates arts and cultural events and provides affordable studios for artists, makers and designers.
Staffordshire St is not-for-profit and all income is invested into developing our public programme which launched the summer of 2022. The venue was established as an art gallery in 2017, before then it was vacant for many years after a community centre closed. Originally it was built as a Methodist Hall. We intend to support a range of cultural events for the local community.
Staffordshire St will build on the established record of these histories, opening up again to the neighbourhood and developing a welcoming interdisciplinary arts space. More information on upcoming events at : info@staffordshirest.com or @staffordshirest
