THIS WEDNESDAY: Trans/Space is Expanding Virtual Creative Workshop Series w/ TC Tolbert!
Every Wednesday!
Sept. 16th - Nov. 18th
6PM - 8PM (AZ time*) via
Zoom
FREE | Registration & password required!
Trans/Space is Expanding is a series of online creative workshops inspired to build community and connection through poetry for all members of Tucson's Trans*, Non-binary, and Queer+ communities. Each session will feature different creative prompts and poems by Trans*, Non-binary, and Queer+ writers, centering work by QTBIPOC writers. Workshops are designed to be interactive, exploratory, and fun. No previous poetry experience is necessary and no one is required to share their writing (there is a sharing-optional period in each workshop, but there is no pressure to share). You are welcome to come to as many sessions as you are able.
A message from TC: *A note on language: I've chosen to use the phrase "Trans*, Non-binary, and/or Queer+" in an attempt to celebrate and highlight those identities that, even within the LGBTQ+ umbrella, often get overlooked or dismissed - including Trans, Transgender, Transsexual, Two-Spirit (2SQ), Genderqueer, Gender Nonconforming, Genderfluid, Intersex, Agender, Asexual, Questioning, and Pansexual folx. Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual folx are also absolutely welcome and included! Ultimately, I want to stretch language and the possibilities of identity and community and radical celebration to include all who want to be here. <3
**Please note: each session will begin and the "doors will close" at 6:05pm so that we can establish group agreements and create a brave and safe space. Unfortunately, we will not be able to let anyone into the session after 6:05pm.
Register for workshops here. Learn more about TC and his work here.

A message from Regina: "I will be teaching a nice warm up, ambidextrous moves with a hoop, on, off and around the body and a gentle cool down. Come and explore and be ready to laugh. It's definitely a silly process that can be developed into whatever you would like it to be. If you do not have a hoop and you live locally in Tucson, Arizona I can deliver a hoop to you. Can't wait to move and play with you all." Read more about this event & access the Zoom link here.
