About the event

**NOTE: This is a free event, but please RSVP on [This Page](https://www.imposterstheater.com/schedule/queer-open-mic-121626) so we have an idea of how many people to expect!**
A new kind of open mic, guided by Kadijah Wingo, this open mic is more than a stage and a mic, it’s an opportunity for reconnection. Offering a space to nurture, and revolutionize the creative arts landscape. This is a space for the first-timer and the seasoned artist, the curious and the courageous, the soft-spoken and the unapologetically expressive. A Switzerland of sorts: a neutral, non-hierarchical, judgment-free gathering where all femmes and every flavor of thems can show up authentically, feel seen, and create without fear or pretense.
Come to experiment, workshop, commune, face your fears, & most importantly transmute your thoughts & feelings into art. Here, we turn tension into transformation, strangers into community, and ideas into new beginnings.
This is a space for joy. A space for becoming. A space for art in its rawest, realest form. You’ll have 5-8 mins of stage time do whatever art form frees you. Sign up when you arrive.
Pull up as you are. Leave inspired. Let’s be a part of something bigger than just you and me.
