SQUIDZ
SQUIDZ is currently on a little hiatus. Thank you everyone who helped make it happen and all the wonderful families and SQUIDZ who joined us and helped develop this vibrant new community via a whole lot of joyous fun.
Our brilliant first year of development was funded by Creative Scotland's Create:inclusion Fund. We will be back again soon to provide safe joyous spaces for rainbow families and/or lgbtiqa+ SQUIDZ both online and in person (and puppet of course)!
Please sign up to the mailing list and you will be the first to hear about our live return later this year , get the link to earlybird tickets PLUS be the first to access our Patreon which we hope to go live with later this year!
SIGN ME UP TO THE MAILING LIST!
You can also donate here and help make future outings of SQUIDZ happen
queer joy
SQUIDZ and the Safe Space Pop Up were born from lived experience + an urgency to bring the thing Miss Annabel Sings belives is most important to our community... JOY!
Specifically Queer Joy. What does Queer Joy mean for you?
For Miss Annabel Sings and Dolly DeliciousJOY permeates all their work. Growing up in the 1980s, silenced and made fearful by section 28 ; unable to verbalise or vocalise their Queerness they found puppetry and drama as a way to express themselves and feel part of a world that didn't feel very safe for them. They promised never to be silenced again and help others to feel the joy of who they are and that they belong. It is with great pleasure to bring these events to Rainbow families and LGBTQIA+ Kids, especially in a political climate that is feeling like we are going backwards and not forwards.
No child should feel scared to explore who they are.
Every child has the right to access community and culture.
