Masterclasses
Here at Queerly, we are passionate about nurturing new queer talent, whether that’s on stage, or off. That’s why we’re introducing masterclasses and in conversation events with both established and Up & Coming West End cast members and creatives.
For our first of these events, we teamed up with our friends at Chalk Dramaturgy to bring you ‘Writing Queer with Lisa Kron and Forristal & Clarke’.
Audience members were given the opportunity to learn the best ways to honour your LGBTQ+ characters from top musical theatre writers. Join them in an international discussion of their work, the process behind Fun Home, and their experiences integrating queerness into musical theatre.
We don’t currently have any further masterclasses to advertise, but if you’d like us to facilitate one for you, please contact us at info@queerly.co.uk.
