Welcoming Natasha Taheen
“I am excited to work with Shout as it provides the opportunity and platform to share and express what being a South Asian Lesbian means for me. My project will draw out, specifically, the connection to Indian arts and crafts through wood block printing and incorporating contemporary queer experiences into the patterns- not just to express myself, but to locate these experiences in a language and practice many South Asian people are familiar with but do not always find themselves articulated in. This project feels like a big step towards being loud and proud in the big bad world.”
Welcoming Louis Wharton
“I’m so excited to be working with Shout to tell a story that is local, unique, and has a huge intergenerational appeal. This city has a rich and vibrant queer history that deserves to be celebrated – it’s my distinct pleasure to collaborate with Shout to offer these histories time, space, and an active imagination. I hope our work together inspires and provokes audiences; and maybe, also, just makes them want to get up and dance!”
Casting call out – Breeders
We are looking to recruit four, versatile LGBTQ+ performers for a workshopped reading of a piece of original writing, Breeders by Louis Wharton.
Welcoming Eric Scutaro
“I’m looking forward to working with Shout because I will be able to bring joy, new ideas, inspiration and representation to their audience. I will be able to create a space for activism and celebration through dance and community, bringing to Shout a part of my soul.”
