About this event

Winter. Lockdown. A phone call…. Enter a world where everyone is telling you who you should be. Where ‘their’ opinion on your gender is more important to them than your existence. Inspired by Cocteau’s The Human Voice, The End? captures LGBTQ+ experiences collated during nine months of lockdown. The End? is a new digital show by Shaper/Caper, commissioned by Dance Base in 2020 as part of 'Now Here This', filmed in VR by Neon8.

Director: Thomas Small 

Performance: Alex McCrossan

Welcome to the stage, OutFest!

Shaper/Caper and Dundee Pride present a pure massive celebration for LGBTQ+ History Month! This February will be chockablock with creative events, workshops and discussions that explore what it's like to be a queer person in Dundee right now.

We’re collaborating with some absolutely fabulous local partners to brighten up your February, including V&A Dundee, DCA, DJCAD and many many more! From pop-up performances to vogue workshops, employability talks for the creative industries to our Battle of the Icons TikTok challenge, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.

We’ll also be kick-starting our brand new community disco, Discotheque (just like a roller disco without those pesky skates!) and launching the new-look version of our magazine show The In/Out Crowd featuring some wonderful guests!

Fancy getting involved? Head to shapercaper.com/outfest to check out the full lineup and books your FREE space! We’re here, we’re queer, come join us!
