Deadline: December 11
Call for Emerging Writers – Telling It Bent 2026
Telling it Bent is an interdisciplinary writing workshop for queer, trans, Two Spirit and questioning BC youth ages 14 to 25. Throughout the program, participants will explore poetry, playwriting, and interdisciplinary creation through a queer, decolonial, future building lens. Participants will build connections with other young queer creatives, liberate their sense of imagination and play, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their artistic practice, and the possibilities of the stories they can tell. Telling It Bent 2026 will focus on creating one person or small cast pieces, and participants will perform each other’s work. The program will culminate in a Final Showcase as part of the Cultch’s IGNITE! Youth-Driver Arts Festival.
