Queer Open Stage: Act 11

Framer Framed is looking forward to this special edition of Queer Open Stage, in which we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the monthly programme. This edition, which takes place on 28 July 2024 from 15:00 to 17:00, also coincides with Pride Amsterdam. Join us for this extra festive edition of the open stage, in which the stage will be given to performers from the queer community.

Taking place each month at Framer Framed, the Queer Open Stage welcomes queer artists eager to share their work and find community. Since its beginning in 2023, the series has celebrated varied practices of storytelling, dancing, singing, comedy and lots more. Regardless how you express yourself, sign up to perform or simply drop by for a spot in the audience and enjoy the diverse talents our LGBTIQA+ community has to offer. Each edition also includes performances from invited participants.

This 11th edition is extra special because we are celebrating the first anniversary of Queer Open Stage. This edition also falls on the second day of Pride week in Amsterdam. Enough reason to look back on the past year and think about the future. What does it mean to be queer in a city like Amsterdam and what is the importance of finding a community in it? How can initiatives like the Queer Open Stage and Pride Amsterdam contribute to that?

The event itself is in English, but performances in all languages are welcome. If you are signing up to perform, please make sure to send your technical requirements. Note that we might not have all the equipment required. This event is free of charge, a donation at the door is appreciated.
