In this presentation and workshop, participants will learn about gender diverse identities in history, art and culture as well as gain an understanding of gender diverse communities and the difference between sexual orientation, gender and sex. Participants will explore identities and how they can appropriately engage in conversations about gender, sex and sexuality.

Go from micro to macro with the phrase "Where are you from?". Discussions involve ancestors, household, neighborhood, countries and culture.  Create a lyrical map of where the writer is from and what that question might mean to them.

In this writing workshop, a series of writing exercises and activities allow participants to write about their identities and how they fit or do not fit into our world.  As a group, participants will create one final “Revolution Anthem” using the Exquisite Corpse Poem as a structure. Participants will be asked a series of questions about themselves and their role in creating a world that exists without barriers or oppression.

Through interactive discussions and real-life scenarios, participants will gain insights into identifying boundary breaches and discover effective strategies to honor and assert their personal boundaries confidently. This workshop aims to equip attendees with practical tools for fostering healthier relationships and self-care practices.

Using the Superhero as a metaphor for our group discussions, write poems, tell personal stories and discover different parts of our stories with different elements of a Superhero: masks, villains, sidekick, superpowers etc. 

This is a performance based workshop in which participants learn basic performance skills to bring previously written poems to life on stage. Participants will have the opportunity to workshop one previously written poem (memorization not required) as well as ask questions and receive input from others with consent.
