Performance: Jaye Kovach

I don’t want to see or be seen by cis people

I don’t want to see or be seen by cis people is a workshop/performance/t4t party focussed on trans joy and futurity. The phrase I don’t want to see or be seen by cis people is a play on OK Cupid’s “I don’t want to see or be seen by straight people” setting which allows users to filter out everyone who isn’t interested in same sex partnerships. This workshop/performance/t4t party creates a space of trans interiority, an alternative space for expression outside of cishetero norms/opens up a space for non-cis, non-heteronormative expressions of desire and self.

You are invited to a come and go performance/t4t party with artist Jaye Kovach focussed on trans joy and futurity. This space is only open to members of the Two Spirit, trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming (2STNBGN) community. What would you do in the absence of a cisgender gaze? What would you wear? (Wear or bring your most euphoric outfit to change into!) How would you move your body? (Dance like no one’s watching!). Throughout the event the artist will be offering tarot readings and deejaying a dance party from a bed that is installed in the space.

I don’t want to see or be seen by cis people is comprised of two parts, a performance/t4t party facilitated by artist Jaye Kovach that is only open to the Two Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender nonconforming (2STNBGN) community, and a workshop for cisgender people about exploring the limits of their embodied gender. The workshop will be facilitated by selfdescribed academic/artist weirdo, Cat Haines.
