THE PINK TRANSCRIPTS

Funded by: Thrive LDN

Expanding Spaces for LGBTQ+ Southeast and East Asians and their Narratives Through Documentary Theatre and Drama Therapy (In partnership with Kanlungan & Philippine Theatre UK)

The Pink Transcripts combines Documentary Theatre and Drama Therapy as a hybrid strategy through regular and sustained workshop sessions for LGBTQ+ and cross-dresser members of the Southeast Asian migrant communities. The sessions will lead to a public performance as a form of engagement and conversation with the Southeast Asian migrant communities and with the British public as a whole and as documentation of the narratives of the struggle faced by LGBTQ+ and cross-dressers within the already-marginalized migrant communities in London.

The project addresses the lack of spaces for LGBTQ+ and cross-dresser members of the Southeast Asian migrant communities in London to express themselves on challenges on integration and the anxieties and mental health issues due to experiences of violence, exclusion, racism, and discrimination. The project will utilize theatre as a platform for documenting often unheard stories and raising awareness within the Southeast Asian communities and the wider British society.
