Free writing mean s writing from impulse\, exploring what comes to you\nfreely through small prompts and ideas. (For example\, the prompt ‘queer joy’\nwould lead to 5 minutes of writing down anything that came to mind relating to\nthat prompt). This is an exercise to see what participants feel in relation to\ ncertain topics or ideas without self filtering or overthinking\, and is a great\nway to share the different interpretations of the prompt with the group. There\nwill also be small group exercises\, creating short theatric al\nscenes/interactions based on queer experiences or stories.  The purpo se of the\ngroup is to explore identity through performance and collaborat ion but also to\nshow the incredibly vast nature of the queer experience a nd each individual's\nrelationship to it This workshop is open to anyone\, regardless of theatrical\nexperience. The exercises are accessible for be ginners and you can opt out of\nsharing your work with zero judgement or q uestion!  ****About the\nfacilitator**** ****Alice Rochford**** ****(she/ her)**** of Petrichor Theatre is\na Transgender theatre maker who has rece ntly graduated from the University Of\nChichester studying Drama\,Theatre and Directing BA(Hons).
