Alive 'n kickin! queer playback show

@ LFest weekend 13 -16 July 2012 

Queer Playback is delighted to be performing again at LFest - it's an exciting lesbian arts and music camping weekend next to the riverside in beautiful Shrewsbury, UK.  We are also running a playback drama workshop so you can practice some of the methods and skills used in playback theatre as well as getting another chance to share your stories.

Queer Playback Performers will  include: Jane Hoy (Wales), Mar Gonga (Spain), Mich Jamieson (Hertfordshire) and Alice Faber (Holland).

 LFest takes place from  Friday 13 to Monday 16 July 2012. There's an amazing line up of artists and performers including Sarah Waters of Tipping the Velvet fame and loads of things to do and see including riverboat trips, a masked ball and an Edwardian music hall cabaret.

Queer Playback's workshop  Over the rainbow - telling queer stories workshop at the International Playback Theatre gathering was an amazing and moving experience which attracted a wonderfully creative crowd of LGBT folk from all over the world. We hope it will 

lead to more queer playback events through Europe and worldwide.

Here we all are chilling out at the end.
