Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health (SCCH) is inviting the queer community and their allies to take part in a fashion workshop to help them build confidence to strut their stuff down the runway.
Organised by SCCH’s WayOut program, the Queers on the Catwalk event will take place on Friday, November 19 in Macedon, giving the shire’s sexually diverse population an opportunity to celebrate their identity.
In the lead up to the big show, the WayOut team is also planning to facilitate a costume workshop on Saturday, October 23.
Participants at these workshops will be provided the materials to bring their catwalk creations to life.
WayOut project worker Rhani Dean-Talbett said the workshop will provide a space for participants to share their experiences of living queer in a regional setting.
“We can explore how this may or may not have influenced self-expression through clothing and fashion over the years,” Ms Dean-Talbett said.
“Participants will be encouraged to invite friends, family and significant others to watch them ‘strut their stuff’ on the catwalk to their signature audio tracks.
“The event will be a colourful celebration of individualism and authenticity.”
