Gushing to Perform is a series where Gabby invites and curates emerging LGBTQIA+ artists to experiment with developing a short performance in front of a supportive, queer audience. 

Empowerment of queer, trans and global majority communities is more important than ever in a climate of harm to trans women in the UK in particular. Opportunities for experimenting with performance are ever more scarce in London with budgets cut, and funding for freelance artists increasingly precarious. 

Gushing to Perform gives space, funding and time to LGBTQIA+ artists to create short, experimental performance pieces in a supportive environment. Performance can be as expansive as the artist would like - spoken word, live art, singing, poetry, drag - anything live in space.
