STST residents Trans Chorus have been invited by I.S.R.W. (Intentional Society of Roadwytches) to contribute to Libby Bove's archival exhibition: The Way of the Roadwytch. In the midst of Bove's collection of folk-fiction artifacts that delve into plant knowledge, magic and ritual, Trans Chorus will share songs and improvised offerings co-created during their GENERATIVE residency at Staffordshire St.
Made following the Roadwytch customs of care, pacing and gender-expansive approaches to the voice, the performance will explore how embodied singing can act as incantations that nurture trans+ folks at the intersections of disability and neurodivergence, helping them to thrive, not just survive.
As well as sharing arranged songs and group improvisations, there will be invitations for the audience to participate in song, creating an integrated space that is not just about observing but rather empathetic collective sensing.

No one is turned away for lack of funds. If you are financially able, please consider the pay it forward option or donating to keep Trans Chorus and Staffordshire St accessible to all.
Please note that the performance will be filmed and the audio will be recorded. The footage will be shared across social media and with funders to hopefully spark more projects in the future. Because the performance involves disabled and chronically ill performers, we ask that the audience take a negative COVID test prior to the event and wear a mask if that is accessible. There will be limited tests and masks available on the door.
