This is not an exclusive list, and the use of '/Other' is intended to include not marginalise anyone.  You are welcome to have your children with you, but you must be responsible for them at all times or bring an additional supervising adult.

  • Your work should be adult centred and your original material, or in collaboration with an artist. Please consider whether your sharing is suitable for younger ears, as children of all ages will be present. Please tell us if there is any swearing or themes that may be upsetting for people. Explicitly political material should be discussed in advanced. Difficult themes and swearing are not discouraged, we just need to ensure we can brief the audience appropriately and take care of everyone in the space. You are welcome to have support artists who are not m/others, this can include men, as long as the opportunity platforms you.
