Join us for A Queer Climate Cabaret on Thursday, October 17th at the Creative Alliance. Performers will reimagine drag as an interspecies affair, and invite you to a KiKi with Kin you didn’t even know you had! Our cabaret crew of artists includes Jacob Marrero, Chris Jay and Pretty Rik E. of Pretty Boi Drag, Nigel Semaj, Jake Bee, Susan McCully, Bao Nguyen, and others from our regional queerscapes.
Special guest, builder of portals and transqueer clown Eli Nixon, author of Bloodtide, a New Holiday in Homage to Horseshoe Crabs, will be joining us from Rhode Island for a book talk and more.
See below for workshops and a performance opportunity.

Educational programming is a big part of Vital Matters’ vision for the future. We think of “education” as an emergent space for co-learning that builds community and helps equip a diverse group of learners with tools for play, imagination, and activism for shaping the world we want to live in.
The Queer Climate Workshop Series brings together the themes of climate, queerness and performance, and invites participants to exercise their creativity as they explore, create and perform with experienced artists from the disciplines of dance, theatre, printmaking, drag, writing, puppetry and more.

Founded in 2021, in Baltimore, Maryland, Vital Matters is a hub and laboratory for cross-disciplinary events, artistic projects, and educational programs for all ages. We work with artists, activists and others to stage conversations, create rituals, and transform spaces and relationships among and between human and more-than-human communities. The climate crisis, environmental injustice, and systemic racism are part of the human inheritance that motivates us. Our focus and our reach are both local and global. Our primary tools for transformation are partnership, collaboration, joy, and creativity. Our methods draw from many sources, including experimental theatre, somatic movement education, and abolitionist approaches to social life and organziational leadership. We invite you to join us in shaping change, and imagining a just and vital future for all.
