writingsforwinter:Hi everyone!Alexa Derman, Managing Editor of The Adroit Journal, a fantastic poetry, prose, and art journal published on a quarterly basis that has featured the voices of some of the most prestigious and well-known writers, as well as emerging writers since its inception, is beginning a new project called “Queer/Slut.” Alexa Derman is a college student and playwright whose project will include the monologues of young queer women in order to dramatize and unfold their stories onstage.As Alexa mentioned, there’s a dearth of queer women represented onstage, “and the few who are represented are almost always cis white lesbians.” Alexa is “looking to create a nuanced, cohesive piece that integrates stories from young women across the country with the media they treasure (everything from Tegan & Sara to Buffy).”If you identify as a queer women, Alexa would love for you to share your stories at queer-slut.org or queer-slut-the-play.tumblr.com. Tumblr is full of many young closeted LGBTQ youth who are most open about their identities on this site, and this is one of the reasons why Alexa asked me to try to mobilize an audience for this project by posting about it on my blog.This is a great chance to become part of a piece of ensemble theatre that dramatizes and gives voice to contemporary queer girlhood. -- source link
