HARRY STOKES The ManWoman of Manchester Transcestory LGBTQIA















Human Rights, Education through Arts Praxis for ALL in live performances, online hybrids streamed with muti-films and a QR 3D print integrative public statue: 'A true story of the Victorian Pioneer of Transcestory and Human Rights.'
10% crowding funding will enable 90% match 'in-kind' potential partners to contribute towards this 10 year process. The new multimedia version of Harry's life is just beginning in politics of allegiance as we 'divide we fall and united we stand'. With virtual reality, comedic stories, CC and integrated audio narration, we will un-earth modernise and celebrate histories of unheard erased voices. The Worker Bees of Manchester and many subversive global cities brought the Capital and their country to a halt, calling for change, better working conditions and pay. Striking and protesting against ruling class colonialism, who starve and silence under-dogs of intersected class, race, religion, disability and LGBT+ based boxes for centuries. We have us excluded from public records, with rare heritage appearing in medical cases, legal systems, derogatory news reports or circus freak shows. Like many silenced pioneers, few records exist about Harry's life, with no voice of their own - until Joey is connected through AV multi-verse portals in intimate cutting edge dialogues that dissolve the concept of time and space.


Crowding funding will enable in-kind funds to employ collaborative artists, by working with multiple orgs in partnership with -in-kind' = free funding, to work within expert infrastructures, networks, build on and develop creative extensive audience outreach. Lesbian, Non-Binary, Transgender, Female Masculinity and AFab plus MANY more through interweaved generational stories will finally be visible for all to see live, online and via an interactive QR public 3D print statue for future generations to access for decades come.

Gay men, drag queens and trans women media dominance today reflects our silenced history, with F2M's and AFab Trans non-binaries and F2M's less visible - lacking educational legacies, leadership, role models, heroes of the people and access to equal shared educational heritage for ALL. We will adapt live work to on-line platforms for global digital outreach mixed media sharing, with on-going participatory programmes and interdisciplinary access and engagement for everyone. As the Artistic Director of TransAction, for 25 years our educational performances and collaborative projects have questioned LGBT+ boxes, calling for a world beyond binaries and borders. Through creativity we learn positively about our differences and come together in understanding through unity to reflect and affect cultural change. Social awareness, strength in numbers and solidarity, facilitates empowerment through cohesion of commonalities that runs throughout marginalised groups and individuals. TransAction Theatre Company collaborates with diverse organisations, interdisciplinary experts, art-activists and wide-ranging communities to create multi-art form 'performance from the periphery,' which empowers and unifies through politics of allegiance to reflect the diversity within contemporary culture. We educate through high quality entertainment, outreach workshops, participation and inclusive praxis. We create work with and for everyone - especially non-binary, trans, queer-crip, POC and under-represented minority groups, in collaboration with arts organisations, festivals and educational venues in Manchester UK and beyond - touring nationally and internationally since 2004.
