Join London-based performance artist, screenwriter, comedian and theater maker Krishna Istha for a workshop exploring how trans artists and performers can craft autobiographical, genre-pushing, gender-pushing works. Delve into idea-generating exercises, examining the use of personal experiences to shape diverse stories and experimenting with form and structure. Participants will be encouraged to create their own material during the workshop.

Co-presented with The Bearded Ladies Cabaret in conjunction with John Jarboe: The Rose Garden.

Proudly part of the 2024 FringeArts Festival. Presented with support from the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.

Access Information & COVID-19 Policies
For most Rose Garden Series performances, masks are optional. Masks will be available at Front of House for anyone who wishes to wear one. The Green Room Gallery is an intimate performance space on the second floor of the Fabric Workshop and Museum. It has been set up to resemble a living room, with seating options that include couches, comfy chairs, folding chairs, and floor seating. The audience is quite close to each other, as well as the performers in the space. FWM’s HVAC system was recently updated with high quality filtration, however there are no additional air purifiers or ventilation in the performance space.

The Bearded Ladies and The Fabric Workshop & Museum are excited to offer both Mask Mandatory and Livestream performances during the Rose Garden Performance Series.

Free Livestream: September 6th at 6 PM
Conversation & Songs with Justin Vivian Bond, feat. Nath Ann Carrera on guitar. Hosted by John Jarboe.
