Hey! Its been a while, here’s an update of what the team at Homotopia have been up to. Starting with some artist opportunities you might have missed. . .

The Homotopia Writers Award

The Everyman and Playhouse script submissions are open and we’re so happy to be partnering with them to offer one LGBTQIA+ writer The Homotopia Writers Award.

The opportunity is for a professional rehearsed reading or workshop and a £500 seed commission towards developing their work. The subject matter of a submitted script for the award should explore LGBTQIA identities, challenges, experiences and culture.

Applications close April 24th.

Queer Creatives Meet-up

From Thursday 17th June and every third Thursday of the month after that join us in the Unity bar for a friendly and inclusive meet-up with local LGBTQIA artists, makers and creators. This is your chance to meet new creative collaborators, seek career advice and have a lovely time with liked-minded queer pals.

This is a free, informal event. To RSVP please email hello@homotopia.net - the first event has a capacity of 20 people so get yourself signed up! This mixer will take place in the U1 Theatre, and be socially distanced.
