It took an amazing group a lot work, but the vote was overwhelmingly in favour.
"New to TaPRA - How our conference works" is written over a mottled background of swirling colours including yellow, orange, pink, and purple.
Joining our annual conference for the first time? We've created a page explaining how things work. Do get in touch with us if you have any questions or worries!

"Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, youโre operating within a fascist logic [...] that means there might be a second one youโre willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?โ
Es tan abigarrado el tรฉrmino queer, tan diverso y heterogรฉneo, tan llenito de todas las atravesadas y fronterizas, que es imposible borrar esa multitud. Cuรกnta miseria moral y cuรกnto reduccionismo binario el del Psoe, que se cree tan arrogante como para decidir sobre nuestras existencias.
No es feminismo clรกsico, รฉs transfobia y queerfobia.

Meravella aquest Casting Lear!
Currently, there is a court case happening to decide whether trans women can legally be recognised as female. regardless of our ID. regardless of our lived experience. regardless of the centuries of our existence, and i have to say it: british theatre is complicit in this.

Back to the archival fever
The engagement with this and the (civil!) discussions in the replies far exceeded my expectations. It's only fair that I ask you to put your pencils down and tell you what was on my answer key.
(Emphasis on MINE. Trans people debate these things amongst ourselves, too.)
Here's what I'm getting at.
La ausencia de la literatura dramรกtica en el programa de nuestro paรญs en las grandes ferias literarias internacionales es triste, inexcusable y obedece a un viejo prejuicio cuya pervivencia es vergonzosa. Sin la literatura dramรกtica el retrato de nuestras letras es incompleto y mรกs frรกgil.
Avui #23N hem pulveritzat tots els registres: 170.000 persones.
La manifestaciรณ per lโhabitatge mรฉs gran de lโhistรฒria de Catalunya i de lโEstat espanyol!
I aixรฒ nomรฉs รฉs el principi, anem cap a la vaga de lloguer.
And happy to share a new publication. My article "The Queer Archive as Promiscuous Ethics of Care" is now available open access in the latest issue of Performance Research

Last academic gig of the year. Privileged to be part of the examining board for a queer studies PhD viva yesterday in Murcia. And in great company. Say yes to more queer scholarship!
Great thread with detailed genealogy of anglophone transfeminism โฌ๏ธ
dear theatre, theres no queer joy while choosing to ignore ecocide and genocide and democide
Article de l'Oscar sobre el moment que viu el moviment d'habitatge: el 23N, la vaga de lloguers, estratรจgia sindical, la cosa de l'Estat i lluita de classes front el rendisme i la patronal immobiliร ria.

Iโm currently writing a book titled โStaging Transnessโ. Overall aim is to map trans* & nonbinary ways of making theatre/performance through interviews and case study analysis. Open to recommendations of interesting examples (Iโve already got a lot, but always nice to hear about new stuff).
