This workshop aims to bring together Trans*, Inter, Non-Binary and agender creatives to share skills and empower each other to tell our own stories on screen.

If you have interests in acting, directing, camera work, sound recording or screenwriting, regardless of your experience level, we invite you to join us in the Casa Kuà garden for an afternoon of learning and experimenting together!

We will begin with warm-up exercises and an introduction to the basics of staging a short fiction scene. We will focus on the flow between directors and performers, experimenting with improvisation and using camera to choose the shot that convey energy of your scene.

Afterwards , we will split into small groups to shoot three short scenes. The goal is not to achieve the final result but also to learn and explore creative ways to tell our own stories and make each other shine, all through Trans* perspective behind and intron of the camera!
