Voicing Queer Silence - collective storytelling workshop

Voicing Queer Silence is a collective storytelling workshop that explores how East Asian queer experiences are voiced, shared, or sometimes held in quiet. We’re interested in participating in how the community look to generate new ways of conveying and articulating themselves (in light of external social pressures or limited linguistic resources). Especially in cross-cultural contexts to convey meanings which may not have the direct parallels in either original culture. Organised by Tiny Human Dramas, a theatre company that creates original plays through collaborative processes informed by innovative social research, the workshop invites participants to contribute to the development of a new play seeking to make space for real voices that are often unheard or difficult to express.

Through creative exercises drawn from community-based storytelling practices, we will create a supportive space for reflection, exchange, and collective imagination. The workshop values care, openness, and mutual listening, recognising that stories may unfold gradually and in different ways. Together, we will explore how moments of silence, hesitation, recognition, and articulation can resonate collectively. Pointing to how new stories, linguistic innovations, symbolic gestures can be used to empower a new generation of queer East Asians.

We warmly invite people aged 20–35 from East Asian backgrounds who are interested in participating in a community-based creative process. No previous experience in theatre or storytelling is needed.
