Preserving personal stories of the unique experiences of being 2SLGBTQIA+ or an 2SLGBTQIA+ ally is one of the most important ways of contributing to the history of the Queer community in Canada. This in-person course offers techniques for taking a memory or anecdote of 2SLGBTQIA+ experience and shaping and enhancing that story into a polished performance piece.  Participants will be encouraged to donate their stories to the ArQuives and to participate in a final concert with guests.
