'Queerness As A Kind Of Attitude' - with Emma Frankland
Manage episode 456085405 series 2955439
Lately I keep thinking about that phrase "the past is a foreign country", and how sometimes a space doesn’t have to disappear to feel lost to us.
And I know that sounds like a bit of mumbo jumbo, but stay with me!
Queer spaces are always evolving and changing, and if we don't evolve and change with them, or if we're not there at the time they are evolving, then we risk being left behind.
Which brings us to this week's conversation, which happens to be one of my favourite types of stories - the big scary jump in to the unknown.
And the person leading us through the story is performance artist and theatre maker Emma Frankland, who took the big scary jump when she moved to Brighton, England eight years ago.
In our chat we talk about living on a boat, the visibility of Brighton's trans community, and finding community and solace at The Marlborough, a theatre-slash-performance space which still exists as a queer space, but has had a change of name and a lick of paint since Emma's glory days there.
