I'd like to meet:
The Charm City Kitty Club is a series designed to foster, showcase, and celebrate creative expression for lesbian, dyke, bisexual, transgender and transsexual women and our allies. The goal is to serve as a catalyst for connection and a forum for discussion through the arts. All genders are welcome and encouraged to attend. The Charm City Kitty Club is a program housed within the Creative Alliance that features music, visual/performance art, film/video, writing and various other forms of creative expression.
The Creative Alliance is a community based non-profit organization that presents and promotes the arts and humanities. As a membership organization of artists, arts supporters, writers, scholars and businesses, the Creative Alliance cultivates community through collaboration.
The Charm City Kitty Clubs vision of a welcoming and respectful environment for all communities is an atmosphere that makes a commitment to be free from racism, classism, ageism, ableism, biphobia, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, cultural appropriation, and censorship. Audiences and performers are asked to participate in the creation of this open and non-oppressive environment.
There are no auditions or pre-screenings required for showing work at the Charm City Kitty Club. Each show is curated, not based on an objective measure of quality, but toward the goal of assembling a diverse and stimulating blend of performances. Performers are asked to review their work in terms of the values stated above. To perform, send an e-mail to mamakitty(at)charmcitykittyclub(dot)com. Interested performers/artists/those with bravado and hubris, please send a brief paragraph stating your performance medium and a description that best describes what will happen when you step onto the stage.
