Applications for FRINGE LAB: Queer School with Xnthony

24 October 2019

Xnthony and Dublin Fringe Festival are joining forces for an exciting two-day workshop for Ireland based queer artists looking to develop their creative output. Introducing Queer School with Xnthony. 

 

With Queer School, Xnthony will support and mentor Ireland based queer artists who are just starting out or trying to reimagine their work. This is for queer peeps who need a bit of nurturing, a bit of thinking space and some explaining on what the heck you do to get ahead in this business.

 

During the workshop, we’ll spend time talking about you, what you want to do and how you’re gonna get there. We’ll look at the boring but necessary admin a queerdo needs to do to keep afloat and useful professional and personal strategies to be creative and keep sane. We’ll even take a look at funding applications and budgeting and, most importantly, useful ways to get your ideas out into the world, crystal queer. 

 

Workshop times are Friday 29th November 6pm - 8pm, and Saturday 30th November 10am - 4pm.
