Trans Theatre Symposium

The future of trans theatre is here — and it's being shaped right here in Brisbane. This vibrant, inclusive three-day gathering at Brisbane Powerhouse is all about creating space for dialogue, creativity, and celebration of Queensland’s trans artists and stories.

Designed to support emerging voices, the symposium offers a series of masterclasses, panel discussions, and showcases — including new play developments and performances. Whether you're a writer, performer, or simply passionate about storytelling, this is your invitation to be part of something joyful, bold, and transformative.

Highlights include:

• Defining Trans Theatre with Dino Dimitriadis
• Producing Your Own Work with Leila Enright
• A panel discussion and live showcase featuring new and existing trans works like No Seasons, Trans Christian Anderson, and Tranzmission Live
• A closing networking event to connect, celebrate, and dream up what’s next

The atmosphere is welcoming, creative, and deeply community-driven. Expect laughter, inspiration, and meaningful conversations — all set against the backdrop of Brisbane Powerhouse’s iconic venue, nestled in the heart of New Farm.

If you’re an emerging artist or creative, don’t miss the open call for targeted development sessions — a chance to hone your craft and shape new work with mentorship and support. Applications are open now via the link below.
