EQUALITY MATTERS ON GAYFIELD SQUARE

Submitted by Editor on Wed, 01/02/2012 - 08:39

Inc. Tank – the Gayfield Square-based performance and exhibition space – will host an interactive theatre piece by young actors early this month.

Creative Electric are the group behind Debutantes, which takes a look at issues of gender equality in the context of a debutantes ball.

'Debutantes is contemporary performance. It's a party. It's learning your manners. It's forgetting them. It's dancing. Laughing. Debutantes is verbatim,' writes Inc. Tank creative director Alan Connell Forgie.

The work has been written 'by young people for young people', and will show from 3–5 February.

Later in the month, the gallery will be given over to an exhibition of photographs by L. Weingarten entitled A Series of Questions (18–27 February).

The show forms part of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) History Month which celebrates LGBT lives and culture and continues to push for equality.

The exhibition is described by Forgie as 'an ongoing body of work which explores the power dynamics inherent in the questions asked of transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, gender non-conforming and gender-variant people'.

Inc. Tank is the successor of Framed Gallery, which was set up in 2011 and renamed last month. To find out more, visit: www.inctank.co.uk
