Young Homotopia

We’re nurturing the next generation of queer creatives and audience members through our work with LGBTQIA young people aged 16 – 25 years old.

Led by Homotopia’s Associate Artist Ashleigh Owen, Young Homotopia has performed at the Unity Theatre and even on the main stage at Liverpool Pride. This is a partnership project with YPAS – GYRO.

Young Homotopia runs workshops, rehearsals and performances with a creative collective of young LGBTQIA people who are interested in self-expression through creativity and performance. Ashleigh Owen and a number of visiting practitioners, support and direct the performances and facilitate development workshops. The programme also builds a community and peer-support for like-minded young people.

We’re currently recruiting our 2025-2026 Cohort!:

We’re looking for dancers, singers, and actors of all abilities and experiences to help create a cabaret-style performance inspired by the iconic Holly Johnson and his extraordinary exhibition at Liverpool Museum.
 
Rehearsals will take place the week of 17th February (Monday-Friday) + additional rehearsals on select Saturdays throughout March. Your journey will culminate in a performance at Homotopia’s Takeover Day Museum Of Liverpool on 5th April.
