An evening of corporate presentations and personal optimisation. But queer.

Join us for the inaugural outing of Queer PowerPoint – a new experimental performance series. We’re inviting queer artists from across Sydney to explore and share an idea, current obsession, or ongoing fascination using that most staid and ubiquitous of programming tools – PowerPoint. It’s basically a bunch of queers deep diving into highly niche content in a very gay way.

Reclaiming and queering the corporate presentation from our straight capitalist wannabe-overlords, creators Xanthe Dobbie and Harriet Gillies will host this new night of surprising stories, secret passions and starwipes, with jonny seymour (stereogamous) playing some tunes and the babes from 107 Projects behind the bar.
