self checkout is based on a collaborative structure that enables participants to feel a collective belonging
self checkout intensive is for queer performing artists between 14-20 years old interested in committing to a series of creative workshops at George Chuvalo Neighbourhood Centre on the weekend of July 5-6 2025! These workshops offer an inviting mix of movement games, dance, sharing circles, writing, crafts, and more. All levels are welcome—come explore, connect, and develop your artistic voice! An intimate showing will take place at the end of the weekend !
The intensive is open to anyone who identifies as part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and their allies and has been created to be a safer space for young people to explore their artistic curiosities.
Lead facilitators, Lamont (they/them) and Rowan Dorian (he/they), are dedicated to cultivating a space where community can grow, queer joy is celebrated, and creative expression in youth is sparked through the performing arts. Rooted in a shared belief in the transformative power of self-expression, they hold faith that this work helps strengthen and uplift the queer community !
self checkout is based on a collaborative structure that enables participants to feel a collective belonging and will include delicious snacks daily! Please wear comfortable clothes to move in !
Registration is FREE !
