OutFest introduces this Scottish short film, celebrating LGBT History Month in Scotland.

Imagine having body parts that your mind and soul don’t recognise. Imagine that body, led by biological drives, behaving in manners out with your control, creating a profound state of dissatisfaction almost impossible to bear. Every month. Period. is an autofiction dance-theatre piece exploring the gender dysphoria and dysmorphia of non-binary identity. 

Devised and performed by Alex McCrossan, with choreography by Thomas Small and music by Adrian Berenguer

Created with support from Citymoves Dance Agency

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 book your space! We’re here, we’re queer, come join us!
