SUMMARY:Copla: A Sharing of LGBTQ+ Migrant Stories and Song
DESCRIPTION:Explore the power of identity through creativity\, by looking at this project and performances created by and for LGBTQ+ migrants\n\n\nIn this session\, we will explore the power of identity through creativity\, by looking at this project and performances created by and for LGBTQ+ migrants\, and discuss social\, cultural\, and geographical displacement\, celebrating the resilience of those who don’t “fit in” through music and humour. \nThe creators of Copla: a Spanish Cabaret and participants from The Love Tank\, an LGBTQ+ migrant organisation\, who developed a performance in response to Copla\, will join us. We will share footage from these events and discuss the next steps for the project. \nCopla is a genre of Spanish music that was repressed during Franco’s dictatorship but later embraced by drag artists and queer communities as a form of resistance. Copla: a Spanish Cabaret brings these powerful songs to life in English\, with a fresh take for today’s audiences: www.coplacabaret.com   \nAbout the facilitator \nAlejandro Postigo (he/him) is a theatre maker and playwright inspired by the merging of music and identity in the performing arts. \nDuring the last ten years\, he’s developed The Copla Musical\, a theatre project involving the adaptation of Spanish folkloric songs with queer\, cultural and political undertones. \nThe Copla Musical'(2014-2023)\, has been performed in Europe and America\, most recently at the Kings Head in July 2023. \nRecent research has led him to address the cultural and linguistic barriers found in Anglophone theatre contexts\, and to champion the artistic contributions of audible minorities in my show Miss Brexit'(2022). \nAccessibility \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough and chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
